Quantum computing is a grift, right? I’m pretty sure its a grift

the kind of problems it solves quickly are limited but they exist. it doesn't apply to any np-complete problem (as far as we know) so it's not like it makes everything run in polynomial time despite what the uninformed and terminally optimistic might believe

now if you're asking whether a good chunk of the people trying to get money to build one are grifting then the answer is yes
