that's still meaningless until somebody proves that Quantum computers actually can break pre-Quantum encryption in practical human time frames (like minutes/days/weeks) and non-state actors can purchase such hardware.
Would be funny if we ended up in a future where the FBI smugly said "We don't need your password, we'll just Quantum in!" and the Quantum computer averages 1.5 years on most iPhones.
The AI hype is meaningless too but that doesn't stop them from doing it.
Yeah that's kinda my point, quantum is so boring that even the meaningless fluff and hype is boring
