PsiQuantum has ambitious goals to build a useful quantum machine by late 2027 â€” and has raised more than US$1 billion to do it.

The article from Nature discusses the growing trend of "de-influencing," where social media influencers are now encouraging their followers to be more mindful of their consumption habits. This movement is a response to the previous culture of rampant consumerism driven by influencer marketing, where followers were often urged to buy the latest products.

This shift is seen as a counterbalance to the environmental impact of fast fashion and excessive consumption, with influencers like @esther__talks and @the_avantgarde discussing the ethics of consumption and the psychological effects of marketing. The trend reflects broader societal changes towards valuing experiences over possessions and a pushback against the constant pressure to buy, aligning with movements like minimalism and conscious consumerism.
