I've watched this video by #[0] a few dozen times in the last X years and I keep coming back to this quote by Alan Turing:

"We shall need a great number of mathematicians of ability" because "there will probably be a good deal of work of this kind to be done."

"One of our difficulties will be the maintenance of an appropriate discipline, so that we do not lose track of what we are doing."

That talk has many instances on youtube. I've given it at many times in many places.

Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecIWPzGEbFc&t=615s

Silly me.

Forgot to link the video in the original message. Thank you.

BTW, the topic feels more relevant than ever (or as relevant as ever). My mind has been constantly going back to your talk and to those quotes as I've watched the development on Nostr from the sidelines.
