Everyday we hear new Brave New World kind of headlines. Multi-front bubble to burst. Digital currency to replace all cash. 15 minute cities. EV cars will replace ICE cars....and with it the freedom to go large distances in a short time privately. One World Government. The USA Uniparty.
Here's a new one for me.
Brace yourself for 'Q-Day,' a global cybersecurity event that could expose our most important secrets
I hope that date 2025 is wrong. Put it out 50 years and most of us will miss the horror of loss of encryption on our computers....and end privacy in our lives.
Quote:When the technology gets there, though, it's "likely to be as transformational in the 21st century as harnessing electricity as a resource was in the 19th century," Michael Biercuk, the founder and CEO of quantum tech company Q-CTRL, told Reuters.
So global superpowers like the United States and China are pouring tons of money into quantum research ahead of Q-Day. With companies like IBM, Amazon, Intel, Google, and more building quantum processors, North America is widely seen as the leader in quantum computing development. In 2022, the United States invested $1.8 billion into quantum research, while Canada committed an additional $100 million, according to estimates from consulting firm McKinsey & Company. And, of course, any time I see the name McKinsey, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling of security. /s

It is amazing how far computer tech has come in less than 25 years...
circa 1998 the industry was shitting themselves, the GP or a little bit of both, that the 1900s date format was gonna crash computer systems worldwide. Lots of companies made a pretty penny off that now questionable calamity.
25 years ago computers couldn't handle dates, now it's all seeing all-knowing quantum computing and it's all bad and evil-like. Certainly, there are upsides to this next step?
I was skeptical then and Im skeptical now, how come other industries don't morph and evolve as quickly as computing?
Just this threat alone will have people trying to get off the grid, so to speak. Let's suppose much like Y2K, this is overblown, whats the motive? who is to gain? As always follow the money... right
am I wrong? or was this post just tucked away, to be brought up at some later date...

I don't understand any of this technology stuff. I'm kinda left behind.
Don't be a useful idiot. Deny Ignorance.

OK, this whole idea of quantum computing and qubits gives me a headache, but what you posted made me actually try to understand what a qubit is. Somehow it sunk in after a search and reading some explanations. Thanks for that.
These old brain cells of mine are not at all what they used to be.
I worry that we are moving too fast in this war to stay ahead of the other side, but I can see we don't really have a choice. The advances we are making are so dangerous in the wrong hands, it would not be wrong to think we should be sinking half our budget, trillions, into keeping ahead in this race.
Whatever happened to us being 30 years ahead of where the public thinks we are? Seems to me we are at the point were our government is lucky if it's a day ahead. Not much security in that.

Great catch, that's a new one for me too.
Funnily enough the WEF were simulating ( or beta-testing and narrative prepping) a 'global cyber pandemic' a while back.
Considering their remarkable psychic predictive powers of the '2019-nCoV' simulation (sponsored by the CIA) every July 9th I do get a bit twitchy.
Here's whackjob Schwab talking about it:

Quote:Catastrophic cyber event likely in next two years’: WEF Annual Meeting in Davos
Due to geopolitical instability, a “catastrophic cyber event” is likely to occur in the next two years, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Speaking at the WEF Annual Meeting in Davos on Wednesday, WEF managing director Jeremy Jurgens highlighted the “most striking finding” from a recent survey on cybersecurity.
“Geopolitical instability makes a catastrophic cyber event likely in the next two years” — Jeremy Jurgens, WEF Annual Meeting, 2023
For years, the unelected globalists at the WEF and their partners have been prepping for a cyber pandemic that would disrupt all of society.
According to the WEF Global Risks Report 2022, retaliations to cyberthreats — whether actual or perceived — could lead to open cyberwarfare.
“If cyberthreats continue without mitigation, governments will continue to retaliate against perpetrators (actual or perceived), leading to open cyberwarfare, further disruption for societies and loss of trust in governments’ ability to act as digital stewards,” the WEF report reads.
If the unelected globalists at the WEF prove to be prophetic in their assessment, it would mean that governments wouldn’t need confirmation of an actual perpetrator before retaliating — just a perceived one.
“I believe that there will be another crisis. It will be more significant. We need to actually start preparing for that now” — Jeremy Jurgens, Cyber Polygon, 2020
Speaking remotely at the annual Cyber Polygon cybersecurity training event in 2020, which was aimed at averting a cyber pandemic, Jurgens said he believed that there would be another crisis, and that it would spread much faster than COVID.
“I would anticipate that when we do see this next crisis, it will be faster than what we’ve seen with COVID,” said Jurgens, adding, “the exponential growth rate will be much steeper, the impact will be greater, and as a result the economic and social implications will be even more significant.”
Cheers.

I honestly believe that a large part of the confused understanding of this has to do with its reporting and the casual abuse of "marketing strategies" employed by those with a platform. We often suffer from weak educational efforts, study as hard as one might, if the teaching is flawed the lessons' outcome will be flawed.
The entire point of the development is a newer framework for technological applications. Based upon a recently explored developments in materials science, new opportunities have arisen. Chief among them as a worry is the effect that the new modality of data processing allows for kind of theoretically destroys the soundness of relying on earlier encryption methods.
For us, the entire notion of "encryption" rarely extends beyond simple 'privacy' matters (and how commerce "consumes" us.)
Government are relying on security technology, now they are threatened because: "secrets" that reflect "capabilities," "projects," "indications of intent," and also (and often) the 'private' machinations of their leadership. So for them, this is an "all call" for attention.
I offer up a thought for your consideration; How many times in history has the development of a new technology "panicked" governments?
All we see from their marketing is the projection of fear, the clamoring for money, the projection of dread. All because they must now use 'defense monies' to update their technology... rather than... well, you fill in the blank.
