**Ask a monkey a physics question thread**

I suspect that the next generation of computers will be deliberately delayed, as the security implications are immense. I'm obviously thinking about quantum computers here, but any advance that increases processing needs to be coupled with similar advances in security technology.

Perhaps this is why graphene has been promising for some time without progress.

No one in the history of the world has done that wrt any technology as far as I know, I remain skeptical. Like with AGI, half the people still don't think there's any meaningful risks. I rather think there's a harder and harder push to create our Great Filter.
