Ugh. To be honest, quantum computing is a waste. A complete dead end. So you can do a few calculations a little faster. Big deal. The same efforts would be better spent on improving manufacturing methods so that we can turn out products faster, especially those that involve shaping of scrap metal.

How could you possibly say such a thing? Quantum computing has huge potential! Just look at Shor's algorithm!
