Cal Newport

this just goes to show how crazy MIT was, is also at MIT is Ron Rivest, who I TA'd for, who invented, he's the R in RSA.

He invented public key encryption.

So the guy who invented public key encryption is there next to the guy who figured out how quantum computers could... Could maybe undo it.

Undo it, yeah.

So it's kind of interesting.

So it's good at that.

There's a lot of problems that are based around simulation of quantum or physics systems.

And that's, you can simulate...

quantum physics systems directly using quantum in a way instead of having to try to simulate it.

So it's very good for that.

There's a certain type of search.

It gets a little technical, but there's a certain type of search that you can implement that has applications.

So there are interesting applications.

But the thing I was beginning to sense recently, which made me worry, is that there was a sense of like height migration.

So people are getting a little bit frustrated, sort of like post GPT-5 of like, this isn't filling my need to have something to be, you know, a technology that is going to change everything.

I love that concept.

And then again, sniffing around, okay, but what if we just quantum somehow?

will unlock AI and solve all these problems we're having.

I think it's way more complicated than that.

There are narrow applications of these particular things that might have some AI application, but you can't, like, run an LLM on a quantum machine and now it's a billion times better.
