1/ why Quantum is BULLSHIT "paving a path towards potential future" like saying: 'Working towards possibility of maybe a thing that might one day be a breakthrough if a breakthrough were to maybe occur' Here I assemble just 2005 to 2015 annual headlines or this BULLSHIT

2/ I could start in the 90s. But let's just go thru 20yrs of BULLSHIT 2005...

9/ 2012 it is soooo close!

10/ aw shucks. More 2012.... Wow!!

11/ ok ok maybe 2013.... We are just one step closer now!!!

12/ OK 2014...poppa needs a new pair of quantum shoes!🎲🎲 Microsoft baby...uhhhh

13/ 2015. You are my year! Bring me that sweet sweet quantum breakthrough!!!

14/ 2016.... Nobody knows what the f this means. Which is why IBM announced it.

15/ 2017.... Google FTW...ah man nevermind

16/ 2018 ok ok...I can feel it. Quantum is finally here! Intel this time!!! Yeah baby. Told ya! Quantum finally here with their quantum chip doing quantum computing for quantum like stuff

17/ Ok 2019...I am still...a...believer....a quantum flapdoodle true believer. Give it to me Poppa Google!!!

18/ if you are still reading YES you can make money off morons who don't understand quantum but feel smart or important claiming it will yield unbreakable, encryption or molecular modeling or new chemistry or new drugs… And nobody during all this time talked about GPUs or AI

@wolfejosh You sure about that, pumpkin?

@wolfejosh Deep learning theories began in the 1970s. Major breakthroughs occurred in the 2010s, with LLMs emerging in the 2020s, spanning 40–50 years. Yeah it takes time, it's a bit complicated ...

@wolfejosh When you say something like ‘quantum is bullshit’ you sound v ignorant. Just because its not a good bet for VCs (and I agree its not) doesnt mean its bullshit. The science is sound. General relativity is not bullshit just because you cant make money off it.

@wolfejosh Like many, exponential growth likely eludes you. AI was nothing for decades before it everywhere. Funny how that happened. We’ll see where quantum is in 10 years.

@wolfejosh To be devils advocate, they’ve been saying the same thing about AI for decades and now it’s finally happening.

@wolfejosh Hype cycle roast hits hard, 20yrs of "breakthroughs" yielding zilch practical. But Willow's verifiable 13k speedup edges closer to real apps. AI ate quantum's lunch meanwhile! ⚛️🤖

@wolfejosh Seems like quantum computing is the computing of the future and may always be

@wolfejosh Your thesis is based on headlines from the last 10 to 20 years? Feels a bit flimsy.

@wolfejosh @MartinShkreli Quantum is just the next cure to cancer or the year of Linux desktop. All 100 percent bullshit.

@wolfejosh I wouldn’t take it too seriously. It is a “carefully composed by corp comm and vetted by legal” statement.

@wolfejosh Great! Now do Human Flight, AI that passes Turing Test, Self-Driving and see how dumb and stupid you sound

@wolfejosh Quantum computers can work only on very specific algorithms, people don't understand it. It can never compete in training and inference of language models with much cheaper GPUs. People still don't get this !

@wolfejosh Sounds like someone has a big short position on quantum stocks

@wolfejosh @MartinShkreli I’m happy to see people are beginning to see through this bullshit. I’ve been screaming about this for a long time. Quantum is not real.

@wolfejosh Love the receipts

@wolfejosh Lol, I mean every company is definitely way over valued right now and almost all will definitely come back to reality. but technology develops over time.. so your point isn’t really valid

@wolfejosh Not sure what to make of your take on this. I have much confidence in the technical capabilities of Google, as well as deep pockets, but do not know anything about you, your firm or you book.
