The lie is it will fundamentally and universally replace everything we have in now. That's the sale. Nope.

  Well when that was said about the internet, they were kind of right. I don't know how you would believe quantum computing wouldn't be a huge change unless you thought something like error detection made it fundamentally impractical. It's going to take decades to mature the technology but it will change a lot. As an investment tool, it's much less certain. Capitalism is fluid. If money is easily available, people will start bad companies to get that money. The internet went through a bubble but certainly did change everything.

  No one has said anything like that. Not even the more "media-savy" startups. Everyone is talking about how on very specific problems you will get some sort of time or energy advantage.
