"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke’s famous law perfectly captures the current discourse around quantum computing. It feels like magic, a force so powerful it borders on the unknowable.

I don't see AI as a workforce replacement. I see it as the ultimate force multiplier.
