    OTOH you haven’t heard of NFTs in a while because AI hype replaced it, so… what hell spawn is going to replace the AI hype?

      I’m calling it now– it’s quantum computing.

      I have some friends who work in it, and I’ve watched and read damn near everything I can on it (including a few uni courses). It is neat, it has uses, it will not install transform all computing or invalidate all security or anything like that. It’s gonna be oversold as fuck.

      3 blue 1 brown has great videos on it. Grover’s Algorithm, the best we can think to try to apply, is √N faster than traditional computing. Which is a lot faster for intense stuff like protein folding, but it’s linearly faster. SHA256 encryption still would take an eternity to brute force, just a smaller eternity.
