A except the Quantum Computing peering into the future part. Stopped reading there. My BS meter pegged.

The only way computers “peer into the future” is by being able to utilize AI systems to sort and process a very large set of probability’s and the downstream results.

The “bell curve” of future possibilities in any unfolding scenarios has a large sum of possibilities that are real, but have extremely low likelihood. Crunching through the remaining realistic stuff gets manageable for high end systems, and one would subsequently make plans around anticipating/countering the events subsequent to X action on Y date.

Everyone talks and corresponds about it like we’re seeing, or predicting the future but it’s actually no different than thinking X moves ahead in a game of chess.

If you actually saw events X amount of time in the future your observation and subsequent actions would most certainly change it. If you saw it, and acted from the standpoint of not wanting to interfere that of itself would probably affect the outcome.
