If Nevin's law is true, then qbit computational power will grow at a doubly exponentially rate rather than simply exponentially as in Moore's law of bit pushers

If Nevin's law is true, then qbit computational power will grow at a doubly exponentially rate rather than simply exponentially as in Moore's law of bit pushers. That alone is apocalyptic.
But that's not the qbit's only trick. They have a talent for pattern recognition that bits can't match, and pattern recognition is the key to autonomous agents. For good or ill, such agents have the power to leverage human will enormously. That has a high potential for apocalypse, and doubly exponential qbits would make that happen much sooner.
