... aside from "the promise of quantum computers will require fault-tolerance, a goal likely still a decade or more away."

See Gil Kalai. The quantum computing folks hoped be able to error correct by now. What will it look like if physics does not allow them to, and they still like the funding?

trying to watch his lecture from 2013, but I'm afraid it's all way above my head. I can get the gist of his objection thought

In the worst case, there is a possibility that QM is a slightly hypercomputational specification over a computational substrate, and the noise is how reality bounds quantum computers to classical computational power.

Watch out for two possible signs: quantum computers will remain just around the corner, machine learning finds efficient solutions for empirical problems that are intractable via solving the current formalisms
