It feels like 6 months ago, I couldn't go a few hours without being exposed to some new wild claims from Microsoft or Google, or any of the other companies working on this. Lately nothing comes up in any of my feeds.

Multiple governments dumped billions of taxes into r&d, probably half on fomo and half on bad projections. But nobody has a solution to the decoherence increasing when you add enough q-bits to do something novel classical computers cannot do like Shor's algorithm or equivalent. They have error correction to try to limit decoherence's effect on the system, but it requires more q-bits so the fix also exacerbates the problem.
