Ah, yeah I have read her stuff before. I may have even linked to it on SN before. My issues with this topic are.
A. My bullshit detector always goes off. B. I lose interest when A is true and there are more interesting things to think about.
When I post stuff about the topic I never get convincing rebuttals. Like many topics, its not easy to argue and debate and so most people just strut around being all confident not realizing how foolish and shallow they look.
I fully admit I could be 100% wrong about QC. Thing is, the burden of proof isn't on me. Its on the QC people. Unlike bitcoin, I'm not sure I can really impact my life positively by understanding this research project on a deeper level.

You've basically outlined my position as well: I'm not an expert. I attribute maybe 5-15% chance that QC develops into something real.
FWIW, Adam Back basically concurs....
