Around 10:38, regarding claims of people using quantum computers for traffic optimization, Aaronson says, "These are applications where we don't even know once you have a full, scalable quantum computer what kind of advantage you get. 1/2

"There is a huge amount in this field of people just going and doing something on a quantum computer in order to say that they did it on a quantum computer, not because there is any advantage whatsoever to doing it that way. And you have to be extremely cautious about that." 2/2

19:55, Aaronson: "You want to beware of snake-oil salesmen. People say, 'Quantum computers can accelerate your business right now.' You always want to stop and ask, '[...] Are you actually doing this better than a classical computer could've done the same thing?'" (1/2)

Except for it is the wrong way to look at these algorithms, at small sizes constant factors matter, focusing on exponential separations or even asymptotic scaling misses the point

I think you and Scott have different points. Exponential speedups often make what was impossible to compute within human lifetimes possible. But constant factors, even small ones, do matter in practice, and are also important to research.
