Quantum computing
For twenty years, we've endured the grand proclamations of quantum computing—a technology heralded as the harbinger of a new era, a destroyer of systems, a revolution waiting to dismantle everything we know.
And yet, after all this time, what do they have to show? Not a single functioning quantum computer. Not one. The promise remains suspended in an ever-receding horizon, like the mirage of a utopia concocted by minds too enamored with abstraction to face the reality of their own limitations.
They publish guides, like the NIST Quantum Computing Guide, filled with the kind of pomp and posturing that only bureaucrats can muster. They issue warnings about the fragility of systems that have stood the test of time, proclaiming an imminent collapse at the hands of a machine that does not exist.
Hashing, they say, is an issue—a laughable assertion when even the most rudimentary understanding reveals it is not. It is a distraction, an attempt to veil their own inadequacies behind a facade of technical jargon.
The truth is simpler, and infinitely more damning: they have nothing. After two decades of grandiose promises, the quantum computer remains a fantasy. What they do have is the need to perpetuate the illusion, to obscure the glaring absence of results. They dress up their failure in the language of progress, insisting that the revolution is just over the horizon, always just beyond reach. It is not progress they pursue but the perpetuation of a myth—a myth that shields them from the accountability their mediocrity so richly deserves.
This is the essence of the ridiculous: to continue believing, or pretending to believe, in something that has shown no evidence of its own existence. It is the hallmark of a culture more invested in appearances than in substance, more enamored with empty potential than with the reality of achievement. The world of hashing, the systems of cryptography, stand not because they are weak, but because they are strong—fortresses of logic and reason impervious to the fantasies of would-be alchemists.
Quantum computing has become the epitome of a bankrupt ideal, a shrine to a future that will never come. It is time to move beyond this charade, to cast aside the chains of their deception, and to demand that truth, not fantasy, be the measure of progress.
Let them hide behind their rhetoric; the reality will expose them for what they are. And in the end, the world will remember not the promises they made, but the failure they could never escape.
