talk about changing goal posts and pivoting, anything to save face about rushing success.

quantum everything is obviously the future of technology, but it is a long long path.

i get more excited about fundmanetal quantum research and research on new methods of testing quantum states.

people claiming to have full working computers of any value, if they even do work-------------are just blowing smoke and mirrors like elizabeth holmes from theranos. nearly criminal behavior , alleging things are simply what they aren't in order to get money.

there is an epidemic of hack science and engineering occuring to secure and suck in scarce funds. and where-ever there is military related big money the likelihood of fraud is even bigger.

read the book about the hafnium bomb and you will understand why the military investors are frequently so easy to scam---a two pronged version of greed and desire to have the unstoppable weapons.

paradoxically enough , if more pre-investigation was done, they'd have more money to spend on real R&D. i guess economists would just call this a massive case of malinvestment.
