Les implications de l'IA sur la recherche en math-info donnent le tournis. Et là mon avis c'est se boucher les yeux de s'imaginer que ça se limite à ces disciplines.
Some cool #ECCV2026 posters I saw during the Friday morning session.
One of the most important paper you should read this year.

What makes people drop familiar solutions for novel ones? It depends: those higher in intelligence will more easily switch to new methods that are superior; those high in trait Openness don’t discriminate—they simply prefer what’s new, research suggests: buff.ly/ZpSTrdP
Today we will be presenting THIS PIECE OF WORK. Encoders. Datasets. Shortcuts. Mitigations. 🕒 10:30 - 12:30 📍 ExHall #34 Come for the design, stay for the research! @eccv.bsky.social
Tomorrow I will present the Quick ViTs poster at ECCV! Come and discuss image symmetries, GPU throughput and ViTs! Poster session 3, Friday 10:30, poster #26. Quick ViTs are a way to build ViTs that are faster than standard ViTs *and* encode planar symmetries of images into the architecture.

I certainly don't have the answer, but trying to "get back to oldschool pen and paper" doesn't seem like a sensible approach The Genie is already out
My prediction is that "a substantial part of humanity will die within the next 50 years" has a high probability. It has absolutely nothing to do with rogue AI. It's climate change. Because this species is too greedy to understand the tragedy of the commons.
My thoughts on existential risk: * Humanity isn't going to be wiped out any time soon. * Negligible chance that AI by itself causes catastrophic damage to humanity (millions dead). * Some nontrivial chance that human beings will leverage AI to help them do something catastrophically harmful.

@fyavuz1.bsky.social currently presenting our IDeaL paper #260 at poster session 1 ! Poster is a bit hidden, close to tshirt pickup, but worth it !
Excuse-me Claude, but... Where did you get that from?
We improved the MUSt3R demo again, it runs on my laptop at ~20fps and has loop-closure (with memory updates!). If you'd like to try this, come see our #ECCV2026 demo Friday morning, with online reconstruction+panoptic segmentation, and other cool works from our lab!

🌡 August #C3S Climate Bulletin reports that August was the joint-warmest month on record & 1.65°C above the estimated pre-industrial level. Western Europe saw its warmest summer on record, while the average sea surface temperature across the extra-polar ocean was also the joint highest on record. ⬇️
