People keep bundling AI and quantum computing together

People keep bundling AI and quantum computing together because both are basically “limits of current computing” stories, just from different angles. AI is hitting power and hardware bottlenecks fast, while quantum research keeps getting pitched as the thing that could solve problems normal chips struggle with — and missions like Genesis are a reminder that the real race isn’t just smarter models, it’s entirely new ways of processing information before today’s infrastructure taps out.
