It is so nice to see people give talks about unfinished work and give a list of interesting open problems at the end of their talks. It gives me hope that as a community we will manage to settle on a good new equilibrium in this AI era.

The time from software vulnerability announcement to exploitation in the wild has dropped from years to hours. zerodayclock.com Mathematics has entered the same territory: a rumor that a certain method might solve a problem is enough for a powerful actor to find a full solution in a matter of days.

I gave a lecture on quantum hype and quantum bullshit for our master's students this week. Afterwards they looked at Microsoft's Majorana 2 announcement and analyzed it from different sides: original press release, publication, media coverage and expert response, and then made their own conclusions.

I signed this today. I'm sceptical of the blind trust of people in LLMs, and I don't think LLMs will replace me as a researcher, teacher, and mentor. At the same time, I want to be open to new technologies and see whether and how we can use them fruitfully in our research and teaching.
