Out of the loop

I agree. It is hokum and I've been saying it for a decade (I have accumulated 10^6 downvotes for speaking this opinion).

But I think deep down I'm snooping to see if people who follow it more closely than I have lately, have detected if the gig is finally up and nobody wants to talk about it?

e: Couldn't deal with minor typing errors, fixed

e2: Not that the concepts of QC are complete hokum, more refined to say, in my opinion, there is no realistic possibility to extrapolate today's minor wins and proof-of-concepts into functional tools in the near future. QM by it's very nature prevents large-scope QC in it's current incarnation and imagining. Kinda ironic. The scientific community only recently figured out in 2022 that locality isn't a thing. I feel spacetime is a great model that needs complete overhaul, and SR is done for. Opinion only but QC is cart first horse later.
