THE QUANTUM REVOLUTION IS HERE (THEY SWEAR), AND IT’S ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN COMPUTING — IT’S ABOUT GENERATING ENOUGH HYPE TO POWER A SMALL COUNTRY

Sir Afilonius Rex, Martyn Rhisiart Jones, and Lila De Alba

Madrid 3rd December 2025

(Mel Brooks: “Ladies and gentlemen… QUANTUM! The only science where nobody knows what the hell is happening, including the scientists!”)
(Dave Chappelle: “Man, every time somebody says ‘quantum’, my wallet hides in the corner out of fear.”)

When people hear “quantum,” they think of a super-computer so powerful it could fold reality, solve climate change, and somehow still lose to your gran at Sudoku. But no — the PR departments insist — that’s tiny baby quantum. Now we’re in Quantum 2.0, which sounds like a direct-to-DVD sequel starring a different actor.

Martyn Rhisiart Jones and The Political Contrarians

A Coruña, 17th November 2025

Both AI and quantum computing face distorted incentives from venture capital, conferences, and media that prioritise revolutionary hype over realistic timelines and incremental progress. Yet, sober expectations, acknowledging that true breakthroughs may take decades and enormous resources, are essential to responsibly realising their genuine, upward trajectories.

In the annals of tech-wreck evangelism and boom-and-bust bullshit, few phrases are as reliably lucrative as “paradigm shift”, “exponential progress”, and “the next electricity”. Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing have both been honoured with these accolades in recent years, complete with nine-figure funding rounds, breathless TED talks, and the occasional greed-driven billionaire divination. Both fields are genuinely necessary. Both are also surrounded by a fog of exaggeration so thick that even seasoned observers struggle to see the road ahead.

A balanced scorecard is a strategy performance management tool – a well-structured report used to keep track of the execution of activities by staff and to monitor the consequences arising from these actions.
The term ‘balanced scorecard’ primarily refers to a performance management report used by a management team, and typically focused on managing the implementation of a strategy or operational activities. In a 2020 survey 88% of respondents reported using the balanced scorecard for strategy implementation management, and 63% for operational management. Although less common, the balanced scorecard is also used by individuals to track personal performance; only 17% of respondents in the survey reported using balanced scorecards in this way. However it is clear from the same survey that a larger proportion (about 30%) use corporate balanced scorecard elements to inform personal goal setting and incentive calculations.

REMEMBER! BUY MY BOOK! LAUGHING@BIGDATA

The purpose of language is to communicate—usually the conveyance of meaning from one entity to another. The value of communication is based on the availability of timely, appropriate and adequate information. In this way, it is positive. But communication can also be used to manipulate, deceive and confuse.
