    It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse

    JFC what a fucking slimeball.

    The chip is great and all, they used it to run a specially designed but useless calculation that’s hard to do in conventional computing. It’s not like the thing is going to give you the 7 septillionth digit of pi, Even the fact that it might be able to break RSA is more of a quirk in RSA than anything.

    So it’s fine to make statements like this but it’s not fine to write an angry post on the web. Yeah makes sense. /s
