I'm glad it's only about 1000x faster, if it were millions or billions of times faster it could be disruptive in a world destabilizing way.

I'm assuming because it would able to break current cryptography?
then just make the cryptography 10000x harder then now? no?
That might apply to future data but what about past data? Example the NSA may be collecting data they can't crack right now but now with a faster computer in the future they can easily crack it.

What about accessibility of the computers required to make it 1000x harder?
