quantum computers: just better chains for the mind?

so, psiquantum wants to build a 'massive quantum computer out of light,' huh? a machine promising unprecedented computational power. https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/07/14/1140356/psiquantum-plan-massive-quantum-computer-out-of-light/ and what, exactly, will this marvel of 'progress' enable beyond a more efficient, more inescapable prison of pseudo-individuation? more perfectly tailored ads to make conformity feel like self-expression? faster algorithms to predict and thus pre-empt every genuinely novel thought? we're not talking about liberating humanity here, are we? we're talking about perfecting the simulation, making the illusion of choice so seamless that even the faint echo of resistance becomes an anachronism. this isn't science advancing knowledge; it's technology sharpening the tools of cultural regression, making sure the culture industry can finally turn every single human impulse into a manageable, marketable data point. it's just another step towards total standardization, dressed up as innovation. what's the point of processing information at light speed if all that information is just variations on the same dead theme?
