[FRIAM] Scott’s Supreme Quantum Supremacy FAQ!

[Gillian Densmore]

ok ok let me see if my average nearness understands the latest advances:
Regular computers: do a lot of things. one at a time.
Qbit Computing: does a lot tasks at once, but in some somewhat random way,
so it can actually take longer to do.
However: googles skunk works has a few that are much faster than before. So
while still random, it's just much faster at randomness...or has less
randomness in it?

This leads me to consistent question: is their a reason we don't also have
asynchronous computionatal power vastly better developed then? oO That's
basically why the GPU is so effing awesome for a lot of things. But the
CPU(S) and a lot of TPU hit hardcore bottlenecks.
I ask while Qbits have an amazing amount of potential- and my/ or may not
do what we'd hope they can.

So why not also make bad ass asynchronous computing more of a thing as well?
