the best thing about watching the entire quantum computing debacle is every time somebody says their QC does something faster than a classical computer, somebody tunes the classical computer to beat the QC. Combined with the fact that chip infrastructure is already paid for and there is a large market to enable economy of scale, coupled with the lack of true problems where exponentially better problem solving is critical to business or military success, means we're going to see a series of QC claims that really just prop up classical computers for some time.

(I used to work in supercomputing and chemistry and await the day we have useful QCs doing simulation better than what we can do on supercomputers)
