The quantum computing industry definitely had a lot more hype than anti-hype. There is a very small minority of scientists who actually speak up against false or misleading claims, but a majority are either silent (why gratuitously jeopardize your own career or your funding avenues?) or amplify the hype (because their newfound startup depends on lay investors being excited for any reason so they’ll continue to put tens of millions of dollars in). (To be clear, there’s a ton to be excited about in quantum computing, and there are truly legitimate careers to be had both as a scientist and as an engineer. But what’s exiting currently isn’t very marketable or fashionable!)
