If true, this would mean more websites with genuine content from the "old" internet won't show up (since many personal websites won't have this), while more SEO-optimized content farms that of course do put up a robots.t

Once quantum computers are possible, is there actually anything else, any other real world applications, besides breaking crypto and number theory problems that they can do, and do much better than regular computers?
