“Practical” utilisation of quantum computing
From what I understand, given current algorithms, practical quantum computing would break certain cryptographic protocols, and slightly speed up almost all other algorithms, but otherwise not have much of an impact.
I think it would also make simulation of quantum physical phenomena much faster.
That’s true.
Hmm, I’ll edit/reword that section.I reworded it to express uncertainty.
This doesn’t include ordinary persuasion however advanced.
Is there a reason you’re making this exception?
Persuasion carried out through ordinary means of communication is capability deployed via the human interface in my taxonomy of real-world capabilities.
Here, the idea is influencing humans (or other agents) via means other than communication.
