tbf investment pouring into quantum computing isn't wholly convincing either

This is shitcoiner logic.

Everybody thinks so, ergo it must be true?

Let me simplify it for you: a quantum computer can't scale because thermodynamics takes over at scale. That's not a problem you can engineer your way out of.

QC can't scale because thermodynamics takes over at scale. At scale the cat is alive, or it is dead. View quoted note →

“Given how much investment is pouring into QC” reads just like… “All the ‘smart people in clown/fiat world’ are doing it, so they must be right” 🤦‍♂️ I remember hearing the same lazy “logic” in the ‘eyeballs/clicks per share’ days of 1999-2001. The funny thing is that if you just sample a half dozen theoretical physicists, you quickly learn what a Silicon Valley/Wall Street scam QC is! 🤪🔫 View quoted note →

No, but price is the strongest signal in markets and if your argument was convincing to the markets then quantum companies would be valued far closer to zero.

Use your big boy words; "shitcoiner logic" has no meaning since everyone is a shitcoiner.

Measuring the utility or validity of something by the amount of money wasted on it is a poor metric.

Nope, money is one of the strongest possible signals. You claiming that it's "wasted" is subjective. The money being put at risk is an objective signal, one could argue that investment is a form of prediction market.
