Part 6/10:
A recurring theme is the critical importance of compute power. Aschenbrenner notes that the laws of physics limit traditional computing growth, making quantum computing a potential game-changer:
Currently, quantum computers operate with qubits, offering radically different computational capabilities.
MIT studies estimate that 5,000 quantum computers might be operational by 2030, aligning with the timeline of the trillion-dollar cluster.
However, hardware and software for quantum computing may not be fully developed until 2035, raising questions about whether the necessary infrastructure will be ready in time.
