So if Google is releasing this quasi publicly, they're saying we have the capability, but they're not showing you how.
What are nation states actors doing about this today?
Because remember, this technology allows them to spy on their neighbors.
Like it's a military grade technology.
So that is kind of the scary thing.
Nick Carter reminds us, you will not get a warning.
The warning is what you are getting now.
This is your warning.
Once logical qubits start to meaningfully scale, you will go from cracking five bits to 256 bits very quickly.
So Google's kind of being the good guy by telling us in advance, there might, that's not the expectation necessarily.
One day you could wake up and the attacks are starting.
All right.
Now, I'll dampen that a little bit.
There's some takes around crypto.
This one's from Anatoly, founder of Solana.
He did remind us that we still have no clue on how to manufacture and add qubits.
So this getting from five logical qubits to 1,400 qubits, we don't actually know how to do that from an engineering perspective.
We don't know if that scales yet.
