2025 is almost over! Looking forward to 2026, when I'll finally do all the things I didn't get to in 2024

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Fiction. When academics do something evil or stupid anonymously, they always blame it on the undergrads
Randomly amusing myself while traveling: many people believe a large fraction of the reviewer pools of the big AI/ML conferences are master's students and undergraduates. Fact or fiction?
I'd at least like transparency about the demographics of the reviewer pools at the megaconferences.

然后睡觉梦到我在Neurips会场走廊上拿着麦克风喷人,感觉好爽。梦里啥都有真好。
昨天睡觉前在喷AI safety现状。最近了解了下这个领域后,发现做theory的那帮人做的东西完全脱离现实,定义一些奇怪的情况, 对现实几乎没有任何用,而做practice的那帮人做的东西在我看来完全不secure,还对自己的安全性充满信心。
这两个二极管community目前没有任何middle ground….

我:锐评一下某些学术圈的某些现象(具体prompt不能透露因为完全不differentially private)。
GPT: 我不评价科研风格以外的事情
我心里:qnmd你个理中客做题家
Gemini: (说了一堆细节后)可总结为1.极端内卷 2.圈地自萌gatekeeping 3. 学术网红文化 4. 搞鄙视链。
我拍案叫绝。这才是跟我align的alignment…..

Long standing open questions一定是重要的吗。有时候细想就会发现其实好像真的也没那么重要。包括好多自己在意过的问题。但这样继续下去就会陷入过度反思,会发现99.9%的TCS问题真的都完全不重要。它需要被解决只是因为有(比较重要的)人当时提出了它,然后它一直很难被解决,这种挑战性让它变得越来越重要。至于它对于其他公认的fundamental问题的implication和帮助,可能是微乎其微的。

虽然我最近天天似乎都很开心,但都是社交媒体的假象。但其实回忆起来这一年我心理上非常难熬,特别是我一直在关注和想办法帮忙一些周围后辈们遇到的签证和找工作的各种困难,但实际上又帮不上多少忙。
而且这样的至少还有三年。三年之后还不知道是什么更可怕的。我是一个悲观主义者,我觉得隧道尽头的光可能是迎面而来的火车。。
所以每天发点岁月静好只是为了寄希望于生活的琐碎,只有神圣化日常生活才能逃避痛苦以及强烈的无意义感。当然也可以说这是我工作太闲导致的无病呻吟,认真当个社畜和researcher忙到不给自己留思考的空间就不会有这些烦恼了。我试试吧,虽然想到要用这种方式来摆脱思考也很难受
