Thank you for sharing your thoughts and analysis! When I was watching Hossenfelder's video, I felt that Hossenfelder tried to ride the wave of hype by criticizing Zapata's efforts rather than providing solid facts in support of her claims.
Thank you for your analysis. Do you think that Zapata's pivot from "quantum computing to AI" or if I may rephrase it as solving "quantum problems using classical methods" might have been an additional contributing factor?
I feel like it's hard to know what would have happened if Zapata had not pivoted. In any case I wouldn't describe it as a pivot to solving quantum problems using classical methods because many of the problems were classical ones. The recent interview with the former CTO talks more about how the company evolved over time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJn1B17qvhc
