Chinese public investment in quantum computing. China's *disclosed* public investment in quantum is around 3 to 4 times the cumulative U.S. private investment. Yeah. And that's only the announced commitment for major projects. McKinsey thinks it might be $150 billion across the latest 5-year plan. And that could be a gaping underestimate! Results mostly undisclosed. We have no real idea what breakthroughs have or have not happened, are on the verge of happening, or anything much else about what's going on there really. Just think of what happens when the world gets its first 2k logical qubit quantum computer (or qubit alternative if qubits are not in fact the best way to go), whatever country it happens to be in. Especially if this happens sooner rather than later. What an insane chaos lever to be able to pull, and we'll likely be nowhere near ready when it gets pulled. Like what Y2K was goofily made out to beβ€”but real this time!
The fact that global capital is plowing money into "Big AI" startups that never turned a profit with a dubious architecture that locks us into a retarded path dependency and grid/data center overbuild. All based on hopium . Imagine cucking to the government just because you can't figure out a scalable business. What's in it for the globalists and the government? I say it's the promise of control and total capture of the economy. Central Planning 2.0. At CASCDR we reject those answers and build on a technically sound foundation.
