CassandrichFolks do realize the people telling you QC will be a thing and break RSA and EC are exactly the same folks who were telling you AGI will be a thing, who were the exact same folks telling you the metaverse is the next big thing, who are the exact same folks telling you NFTs would take off, who were the exact same folks telling you bitcoin would replace Visa, who were....
tyzbit@dalias you can tell what will be a thing by a simple indicator of if regular people (like, people making less than 4X minimum wage) actually try hard to get it.
refrigerators: as soon as they could afford one, people did. some people bought one before they could afford them.
nfts: no one knew what they were and half of the people that did laughed their asses off at them.
smartphones: the world collectively lost its mind at the iphone.
chatbots: most people don't like them, the people that do sit there and build pointless things that connect to other pointless things to make cathedrals of crap that uses 40% of all buzzwords ever invented but when pressed for what value it has they say some vague bullshit about workflows.
