We spoke to Ian Smith about QEVM and:

The bullet in the gun was for me
Quantum computers
Magic eight ball
2038 January it's the end of 32-bit time
A message sent in violation of the speed of light over 1,000km
Man in the middle attacks
The majority of people didn't know
The year 2038 problem is going to affect about 95 % of computers
Blockchain is completely vulnerable
Friend or foe identification system for missiles
Cryptography baked into the protocol
It's not just fearmongering, it's a position of power
AI
Diminishing returns for silicon, but you get increasing returns for quantum
