There's a lot you aren't aware of then. There's a lot of uses in biology and pharmacy, as well as physics research, machine learning, and weather predictions, just to name a few. (I know weather predictions doesn't sound sexy but it might be the most important one in the list)
And I’m sure there’s lots of stuff it could be useful for that we haven’t really thought of yet. I hope it ends up being a net positive technology if it does pan out. Part of me thinks it’d be funny if by the time we end up with quantum computers we’ve moved entirely to quantum resistant cryptography (and hopefully a little before that to mitigate store and decrypt later attacks), because I’m sure a bunch of investment in it is for breaking cryptography.
I can predict you weather for the next decade. For make it shorts, we are fucked.
