Quantum computers: we can't achieve significant code coverage, cyber security or reduction of technical debt with our non-quantum code now - how exactly will we achieve that with 1000 or 10000 q-bits? Address space is far more than the million monkeys at typewriters output...

AI: still totally unclear if any new value is created as opposed to enabling ever more cheating in schools, micromanagement in companies and more pervasive surveillance by governments.

Per Thiel's metric: does AI increase GDP and productivity or reduce it? I'd bet decrease: more "productive" managers but less actual production = lower productivity.
