It can be tech-related or not. So far we’ve had the .com bubble, Bitcoin bubble, NFT bubble and now AI (probably) bubble. What do you think the next bubble will be?
Quantum bubble, next after AI.
Yeah no doubt. It can be pitched as solving all the world’s problems immediately, and fear mongered as “breaking all security instantly”. There’s no defined end product yet, so the goalposts can move.
Like AI, it can be a test of the debt market more than of tech
It can be marketed that way, but mathematically, a LOT of encryption that’s used is already “quantum proof”.
Of course nothing is perfect, but we’re pretty confident that the existence of quantum computers won’t break the internet.
I predict (from my unlimited wisdom):
Personal Avatars.
Since the chat messaging apps must become interoperable now, people will create their virtual “self” across different platforms.
I would say probably more likely to be a personal AI assistant, that handles all PC/cell phone interactions for you. Like Star Trek: “Computer, do my taxes!”
Of course that relies heavily on AI becoming more reliable then it is now.
No one wants an AI summery of their e-mails if it’s full of hallucinations, or their tax returns to get them into prison.
personal AI assistant
I think it needs a few more years before they are good enough to be used by the masses.
