I'm pretty certain the QC development will continue even if at a slightly slower rate. And maybe AI can help with manufacturing more reliable and cheap versions :-) What I think has not be investigated so much is what can be done with a not so reliable quantum computer? At the start of computers Colossus was not ultra reliable but that didn't matter as it just cycled around trying different possibilitied on codes so failing on the task every so often wouldn't have made much difference.
