The bullshit will continue until the grifters move on to something else. If you can figure out what that is, you'll make some serious bank!

This stuff makes me nostalgic for NFTs and the metaverse which is pretty horrifying all things considered.

Yeah, there will always be some percentage of bozos and clowns in America… that’s never going to change.

And it’s unrealistic to expect them to stay perfectly motionless, they will try to adapt to the changing landscape too.

Bozos and clowns are a universal cultural phenomenon.

quantum computing in next 5-10 years for sure will be the next grift, the wheels are already turning

Quantum computing is soooo 2018, you want space data centres for the next 5-10 years (or "5-10 tears" as the apple keyboard gave me the first time).

Its zeitgeist appeal has been stuck for like 20 years.

The problem with it is that unlike sell-side mortgage fraud, self-driving cars, crypto, and current AI… quantum computing doesn’t have a simple, approachable, mass appeal parlour trick to rally around.

Until it gets one, it’s never going to facilitate the scale of grift and graft as the others.

The threat of breaking all encryption has been a slow-burning $1 trillion or more grift for the field over the last 20-30 years. Not that anything has materialized from it. I am somewhat convinced that PQC is primarily being rolled out so that we can all stop funding those clowns (and because lattice-based cryptography is finally ready for prime time).

I don't know if breaking encryption will even matter if we just keep handing over all our data anyway.
