Oh my God! Sarah Huckabee Sanders dyed her hair platinum blond, and now works as the IBM Quantum Press Secretary! She delivers her alternative facts with a charming Southern twang. You’all, quantum computing is already advantageous to our partners and our startups are profitable. Error correction necessary first? Naw, only on Tuesdays.
It’s not a question of if IBM stock will take a dive once the investors find out that IBM was lying and quantum computing won’t be profitable for another 10 years, it’s only a question of when.

Graeme Smith, who worked several years at IBM under Charles Bennett, and is now a Professor at U Colorado Boulder, thinks the following

And later in that thread, the famous John Baez agrees:

I wonder who is the biggest LIAR company in the business? Biggest in terms of company size and the magnitude of the lies.

Quantum Bullshit Detector is very proud that he was the object of intimidation by IBM’s Director of Research, Dario Gil. Hey, Dario, have you ever heard of the SEC? This is Dario’s threatening tweet:

For anyone who thinks that I might be Quantum Bullshit Detector, or know who he is, nope, I am not him, and I don’t know or care who he is. That is pretty evident from the list of his interest, which is very different from mine. He tends to be more interested in experiments and less interested in software than me, and he seems to have reported directly from inside a conference at least once, whereas I don’t go to conferences. Besides, almost always and everywhere, I prefer identifying myself explicitly as rrtucci.
