Looking at the mess regarding GPU and ram, I start to wonder whether we’d be able to produce enough supra conductors and have enough helium to support quantum computers leaving research lab and being industrialised?

While I doubt quantum computer would be massively produced, I am not sure how much materials are needed for a quantum processor compared to let’s say, an MRI to take the most common supra conducting machine

    Irrelevant, I think? Whether we have enough or not, they’re going to just take it. See: the “AI” boom and how SSD and memory costs are skyrocketing and general availability declining as well as GPU costs/availability since Buttcoin.

    I’m not too worried now, but at some point, there’s going to be a breakthrough and “quantum” is going to be the new bubble. “Quantum datacenters” and/or “quantum AI” or whatever marketing horseshit they come up with.
