  • Quantum computing is trying to be ai, in the sense that it does have niche scientific uses it excels at but tech bro types want it to be the next general computer so they can make their empire on it. The only use case I’ve seen it excel at so far is generating precisely tailored probability distributions, which end up mostly being useful for simulating different models for quantum field theory. Even then I’ve only seen that in looped fiber implementations, which imo are a stretch on the definition of quantum computer.

    “Moreover, although inequality initially seemed to undermine mental health, the publication-bias-corrected association was null”

    Maybe this term is reasonable and I’m just not familiar with the field of study, but this sounds suspiciously like “when you ignore all the woke dei nonsense” dressed up in academic language.
