the computational cost of operating over a matrix is always going to be convex relative to its size
This makes no sense - "convex" doesn't mean fast-growing. For instance a constant function is convex.

My university sends me checks occasionally, like when they overcharged the premium on my dental insurance. No idea why they can't just do an electronic transfer like for my stipend.

If you want a serious discussion of interpretations of quantum mechanics, here is a transcript of a lecture "Quantum Mechanics in Your Face" which has the best explanation I've ever seen. I'd recommend the first 6 of Peter Shor's Quantum Computation notes (don't worry they're each very short) for just enough background to understand the transcript.
I honestly think anyone who writes "quantum" in an article should be required to take a linear algebra exam to avoid being instantly sacked
Possibly the worst misunderstanding of quantum mechanics I've ever seen. I have no idea how anyone managed to convince themselves that the laws of physics are somehow different for conscious observers.
