I work for the government.
As a technologist, I cannot keep this under wraps anymore.
There is a government-funded organization that is already experimenting with a quantum computer they call Miya, and it is orders of magnitude more powerful than Google's Willow.

According to the email, Miya is already capable of executing Shor's algorithm.
If you do not understand the implications of this, Shor's algorithm is a quantum algorithm that can break all modern encryption schemes, including RSA and ECC.
THE ENTIRE INTERNET IS AT RISK!

All personal information stored today will be obsolete. Your browsing history. Your chat logs. Your passwords. The money in your online banks. Nuclear codes. Internet-connected surveillance cameras. EVERYTHING.
I dove deeper and only managed to find Krishna Okhandiar's LinkedIn page.
This individual has been scrubbed off the internet. I imagine he is one of the higher ups in the organization.
Someone has to stop him and his group from destroying humanity.

The entire AI bubble was just a distraction.
If you're fascinated by conversational chatbots, your entire worldview is going to shatter when you see what these quantum computers are capable of.
If you interface with any sort of electronic device, you are vulnerable.

For my crypto audience:
A quantum computer this powerful will end everything.
Ethereum would be vaporized.
A $450B network ceases to exist overnight because its cryptographic protocols are not resilient enough.
@VitalikButerin, is Ethereum prepared for this?

We need post-quantum cryptography, and we NEED IT NOW!
We do not have much time left.
And just in case: I am not depressed, and I do not have suicidal ideation.

Update:
They're tying up loose ends, as expected.
Krishna's LinkedIn page has been taken down.
