I listened to the "Joy of Y" podcast of an interview with Ewin Tang and thought it was an enlightening view of the current state of quantum computing. https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-is-the-true-promise-of-q...

I grew up in a rural area that did not have a lot of economic opportunities and I wonder if there are some parallels with the (sub)urbanization/modernization of areas. I did not read the whole article (paywall) and we were not poor (
