This feels a bit like launching a startup that offers services based on fully working quantum computing, depending on others to provide their fully working quantum computer.

- loanedempathy 2y agoThank you for putting it this way. I watched people scam VCs with drone tech, and Theranos, and other things. Can people please do any amount of critical thinking around this sort of stuff? It steals funding from serious efforts and pollutes the pool. What is special in this approach compared to literal decades in the field? What is special about these young dudes compared to better-funded ventures that haven't pulled it off yet and who have been working on it longer? What is the difference between "yeah we can do design work look at all this stuff (that's the easy 60-80% of the problem space)" versus "we can actually solve the remaining work that's got everybody so screwed up"? This feels like a scam y'all, knowingly or not.
- artemonster 2y agoSeriously, why people are falling on this scam??
