Quantum Fad Nuked!
Irrational Protuberance
I must say, it’s heartening to see the entire quantum sector burst into flames based on a single off-the-cuff remark by Jen Shun Huang, but the most amusing to me by far is QSI, which I wrote about in some detail on December 30th. I have seen the AI-article-maker robots twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain the rise in this stock, since they couldn’t reach the true but insane conclusion that it went up just because it had the word “Quantum” in its company name. It any case, it has lost about 50% of its value in a matter of hours.
Peaceful Post
Honestly, I do NOT come up with these provocative video titles! Honest!
Qinda Like I Said….
A month ago, I don’t think the words “quantum computing” had been mentioned in the nearly twenty years of this site’s history. Over the past few weeks, though, we have done a ton of posts about them, specifically engaging in serious eye-rolling about the insane bidding-up of these beyond-speculative equities. Well, none other than Jen Hsun Huang has put the kibosh on this mania, by saying it’s probably about thirty years off. If someone THAT doe-eyed optimistic can make such a statement, well, forget about it. These aren’t tiny downticks, either. They are double-digit percentage slices in just hours.
