If you're working on quantum computing resistant cryptography, have you also considered time travel resistant cryptography? Or infinite energy availability resistance? Why stop with that first imaginary technology?
I guess the big distinction in my eyes is that the recent work in QC is at least on the pathway to "real QC" that we can all kind of agree on, while AI means nine different things, and has gone off on a tangent from the study of cognition with opaque big data techniques

Also the theoretical foundation for QC is sound and fairly well-understood, while we have no theoretical foundation for general AI, or even any consensus on what the questions should be. That said, I agree that VC turn everyhing into hype

This is another example of your observation about the lack of innovation in the last 10 years. "AI" is not in a boom — all that's happened is that in the presence of infinite money, people discovered it was profitable to rebrand machine learning as AI.
