It only breaks asymmetric encryption like SSL and PGP. The strength of symmetric encryption, like you have with password protected files and drive volumes, is reduced somewhat but should still be more than sufficient.
And like the other commenter said, there are asymmetric algorithms that are quantum-safe, they just aren’t in widespread use (though apparently just this year NIST announced a standard for lattice based cryptography).
With classic cryptography being broken that also opens the need for quantum cryptography and commnications. China is a bit farther ahead of us on this launching their first satellite encorporating these concepts in 2020:
“The nation’s Micius satellite successfully established an ultrasecure link between two ground stations separated by more than 1,000 kilometers” source
China is launching a second newer generation satellite next year. source
Metaverse is just a VR implementation, like Second Life or VRChat. My point is: In a broader sense it’s not a monopoly; only if you are hellbent on wanting a feature only that implementation offers, you have no choice.
Yah, you’re right. Like I said, when you say “Metaverse” most people (on the street) are going to think of Meta’s. I doubt most people in even developed countries even remember Sony’s failed VR world.
Is there another networked VR world that is anywhere near as big as Meta’s today? With nearly as many users (even with as much of a ghost town as it purportedly is)?
I think you were talking about a hypothetical metaverse, whereas I was thinking about the only one that I know that has any traction - tenuous though it may be - at all, which is Meta’s.
The current TechBro fetish, just like the Metaverse was, and the NFTs, and the Crypto.
When the bubble burst, which will be the next TechBro fetish?
Quantum computing. It would have already been but it still has a very nerdy, no real-world application vibe.
Well the real world application is breaking nearly all existing encryption.
Criminals and spies are going to have a field day once it becomes practical.

I could swear we’ve been preparing for that day for a decade now
Only, NFTs and Crypto are relatively accessible; anyone can get in on the game. The Metaverse is a monopoly.
The bubbles are still going, BTW. Bitcoin prices are currently higher than they have ever been, thanks to America re-electing the Fascist Orangutan.

Hopefully suicide 🤞🤞
