What this trajectory points to is not an abstract science project. This amount of computing power can solve humanity's burning problems in health, environment and science. However, it can also break the mathematical foundations of the encryption that today protects our bank accounts, Medicare records, defence communications, payments networks, government identity systems and national intelligence infrastructure.
