Is Google's Artificial Intelligence Technology Running Amok?

Google claims its new quantum computer--the D-Wave 2X system--will leave its competitors in the dust. But I'm wondering if there'll be any competitors for a while if Google's "Ace of Spades" newbie performs as they predict. "We found that for problem instances involving nearly 1,000 binary variables, quantum annealing significantly outperforms its classical counterpart, simulated annealing. It is more than 10 to the power of 8 times faster than simulated annealing running on a single core." In layperson's lingo: this sucker will run 100 million times faster than the clunker on your desk.
