I wrote a blog post on "TCS, AI, and the Adults in the Room," addressed to the senior researchers and established academics in our field: minorfree.github.io/Clement/

Thanks to @hunglv.bsky.social for lending me his blog!

I really like Raghu Meka's post about the barriers of perception. It's thought-provoking and well worth a read.

Goldreich’s short take on AI proofs is thought-provoking (and the Borges reference is quite on point).

Am teaching grad complexity theory at CMU; about 1/3 of the lectures will be new (vs. last time), 'modern' results. Videos are going onto www.youtube.com/@ComplexityT... which will later also feature student videos.

We did Williams (/Cook-Mertz/Shalunov) TIME(t) in SPACE(~√t) today.
