I am fascinated to see how this tech becomes miniturized and commercialized, 100% will be what causes the singularity, not from creating artificial people, but by becoming an implant enhancement that will almost definitely radically change how people that get it think and interact with the world around them in ways that are physically impossible for us to predict.
Quantum computing is widely misunderstood by the general public, and really won’t be as game changing as people think. I doubt any consumers will ever have a need for one that would justify their price.
All of that stuff is just a refrigerator. Because the little quantum computer chip is only the size of a credit card but it has to be kept so fucking cold it’s the coldest thing in the known universe.
