>>507842270 (OP)I read an article about this a while back (which I cannot remember the name of), which listed several interesting scenarios, all of which a breakthrough in quantum computing will facilitate.
Two possible scenarios are:
1. A slow build up of seemingly random leaks, internal government documents appearing on the internet causing widespread embarrassment, confidential emails and photos etc. leaked
2. State actor purposefully cracking all encryption of a hostile state, and creating one huge dump of information or just going straight up capitalizing and invading instantly
Of course, with quantum charged turbo AI, who knows what might happen.
