  1. Considering the reported $ 22 trillion +/-, "missing / unaccountable", funds in the US, DoD, and the potential of 'breaking" any encryption safeguards of any network system…it's a safe bet that in some 'deep lab", quantum computing , QC, is far more advanced, than this PUBLIC report can even come close to 'revealing".
    Plus, due to the cooling factor required by QC , there will never be a consumer level, stand alone, PC type, quantum computer . There will be a 'terminal" device connected to the 'cloud" QC centralized servers, much like the cloud architecture today. Big difference from today's system, and the future QC system, passwords, will be mealiness. There will no encryption profile that AI, operating thru QC, can't 'break into". Think your 'privacy" is at risk today, the QC future will make privacy extinct.

    I'm a fan of new tech, been involved in computers since the early 80's, but the 'machine/ robot world" we joked about back then, seems to be unfolding before our eyes today. And, the potential for the dire aspects to human society, can not be ignored, or "marketed" as the "warm and fuzzy" future for mankind.

    For every "positive' element, there is a "negative" element, will an advanced AI system place a "value judgement" on its' calculations, or just use pure, cold 'logic"?
