Sabine Hossenfelder Versus IBM Scamming Shareholders
"Sabine Hossenfelder calls out the Quantum Computing scam," someone has pointed out, in turn pointing to this new video from 4 hours ago (Invidious link).
"Billions of dollars, zero use cases," quotes the above. "Mentions IBM multiple times as one of the worst offenders of the scam."
"Glad someone is calling us out our bullsh-t," said the first comment. Well, this BS is mostly perpetuated by the media. Last week they did the same with nanotechnology, basically relaying lies without any basic fact-checking, then bumping up the shares of IBM (based on vapourware).
As somebody put it earlier this evening: "most useless IBM product - how about those fabled Quantum chips that Arvind keeps mumbling about ? Will they ever see the light of day ? Not in a billion years. They are the most fantastically useless pieces of sh-t that would be fabricated and they would burn up immediately on the IBM factory floor without even operating for a nanosecond."
"That's Arvind's legacy to the IBM shareholders, investors and to the world, since he, the smug faced Dario Gil and the Pipmunks collect share of 1 billion dollars from the US government."
This was 1 hour ago, preceded by: "Does IBM even still sell Cloud Paks? They were always just bundles of old sh!t with a new name, but I haven't heard them mentioned in forever."
IBM failed with blockchains (Arvind's fantasies).
It also failed with clown computing (fancy name for server hosting).
Buying Red Hat didn't help.
Then came slop ("hey hi").
Now they are falling back on or revering back to "quantum".
What next, very small chips with no actual details about the functionality, just the projected scale?
IBM has become a garage of BS. █
