D-Wave's founder Geordie Rose gave three predictions about the future three years ago. Two of them have already come true. His last was about quantum computers that can think exponentially faster and will almost certainly overtake us in thought, and just about everything else. While this may sound familiar, the timeline Rose presents deserves another look.
