Agreed, if what we are seeing is a lot of AI-generated, mediocre applications being added to the pool it won't mean much for the chances (but additional work for the panels...). I guess time will tell.

Good question. I would be curious to know if applications from researchers in the United States has significantly increased following the decrease in funding there?

I wonder if there are independent attempts to attack the protections of this software and/or quantify its utility? (A prior version of Diffix was famously broken by Aloni Cohen and Kobbi Nissim, @kobbini.bsky.social, in arxiv.org/abs/1810.05692)
Linear Program Reconstruction in Practice
We briefly report on a successful linear program reconstruction attack performed on a production statistical queries system and using a real dataset. The attack was deployed in test environment in the...

One a more serious note: It is obvious to anyone with mathematical training that a sequence of improvements in capability (by whatever metric) may not lead to an "explosion" in capability. Instead, it may very well be that there are limiting factors that keep the total progress bounded.
