  1. You could say that about almost any company in the stock market.

  2. Quantum computing is not profitable, either. None of the quantum computers we have built, so far, are anywhere close to a technologically useful machine. Not that it matters because nobody knows what to do with such a machine to begin with. It simply does not have any conceivable application right now. That's a much bigger problem for the field than the actual construction of such a machine.

  3. Dude, the universe has solved the SNR problem over the distance of the entire universe. That's why you can see all the way back to the big bang. ;-)

  4.  @richardjensen7186  Awh, you are so cute when you are feeling sorry for yourself. ;-)

  5. Pretty similar to a couple of years ago. The technological problems are still hard and the main question, how to translate a classical algorithm into a quantum algorithm efficiently, has still not been answered. My personal guess is that it's the latter problem that will severely limit the applications for quantum computing. We will most likely find that correspondences between the two realms are far and wide between. That won't make quantum computing obsolete. Quite the opposite, but it will mostly limit it to a range of scientific applications in which we are explicitly asking questions about quantum systems.

  6. Quantum mechanics has absolutely nothing to do with random numbers. Most people simply don't understand what it actually does (rotations in very high dimensional spaces).

  7. The limit to weather simulation isn't the simulation. It's the physics of weather. You are not even close.

  8. AI still hasn't done anything impressive, yet. It has proven lately that the human brain is utterly ill-designed to play games like chess and go (which is why we like to play them in the first place) and that we have a really poor collective taste in visual art that can be pleased easily by imitation. It still has achieved virtually nothing in the realm of music, not even by means of imitation, which makes music the more interesting area to watch. It has also proven that most people don't have a working bullshit detector (but that has been known to politics, religion and philosophy for many centuries).

  9.  @askmiller  Dude, we don't need a device that can imitate a 2300 year old Euclid. Mathematically gifted ten year old children can do that. And theft detection? You need more attention, don't you? ;-)
