Shor’s algorithm, the long-promised killer app of quantum computing, got its first significant upgrade after nearly 30 years. Researchers finally learned how to find the shortest route through a general type of network nearly as fast as theoretically possible. And cryptographers, forging an unexpected connection to AI, showed how machine learning models and machine-generated content must also contend with hidden vulnerabilities and messages. Resolving P versus NP could solve countless logistical problems, render all cryptography moot, and even speak to the ultimate nature of what’s knowable and what’s forever beyond our grasp.

e/acc or Effective Acclerationism, a play on effective altruism. The basic idea of the philosophy is this: in a technological age, the powers of innovation and capitalism should be exploited to their extremes to drive radical social change — even if that means completely upending today's social order.
