I cannot really engage with AI discussions that range between "the AI companies force us to" and "what are we supposed to do with all the horses if we let cars on the road" this all sounds like a coping mechanism rather than any constructive attempt to understand how we proceed with the novelty,

The most insufferable genAI writing style is not the ---, it's the "We get X, not Y, not Z, but X," often when nobody would have considered Y or Z to be reasonable alternatives to X to begin with. Now this weird "mitigation" writing style is very prevalent in American TikTok "did u know" videos,

Hallucinating citations is cheap. What do we do about a paper misinterpreted (including making up that they described an algorithm they didn't) which gets replicated in infinite subsequent citations. I remember this prevalent phenomenon from the 2010s,

Everyone: AI will soon evolve and kill us all Me: yeah in 10 years tops ppl will rediscover the finite-element method as an alternative to neural fields that works and will rebrand it as "linear splatting",

We will give with Cyprien Plateau-Holleville a course on Fluid Simulation with Optimal Transport: New and Old at: - Eurographics 2026 (May 4-8, Aachen) - SIGGRAPH 2026 (July 19-23, LA) Featuring: - Gentle introduction to OT - Create your own OT at home - Fluid sim with OT See you there !
