Researchers have found a way to perform certain quantum operations more than 1,000 times faster, cutting thousands of repeated control cycles down to just one. The advance could reduce errors and bring reliable, fault-tolerant quantum computers closer to reality.
What an unfair comparison. A quantum computer can do an asymptotically fast fast Fourier transform. That has a lot of value to a lot of people. Unlike the current state of generative ai.
The same statements were made about cars, airplanes, the internet, cell phones, medicine, etc. AI is just the latest “big thing” to have gotten this treatment.
No, I’m more apt description is cryptocurrency. Something that was hyped as the Advent of something important and turned out to be just a circle jerk for a bunch of already rich people.
In technology something actually has to demonstrate value and utility. We can’t just describe it for no reason.
