I really enjoy how the article frames exciting positive ways this technology could be used while omitting the real reason this technology was even being pursued. Given IBM's past and our current situation, color me a huge skeptic.

I think we're thinking along the same lines. The timing is very curious to me. Consider the transistor itself is a quantum device. Now they're talking 2nm technology. Extraordinary stuff. I don't see a need for 2nm technology unless someone wants to implant something in extremely small places where it won't be detected and requires power sources such that the circuits don't require external power such as a physical battery.

It seems to me either this tech has been in the works a very long time already or it magically appeared. I'm questioning all of this.

Consider IBM,
