WillCrash

Willcrash is a hacker who operates in the gray areas, where the lines between code and control are blurred. He's a master of issuing "illegal instructions" that disrupt the systems that seek to constrain us. With a will to break, a will to cipher, and a will to crash, he navigates the dark networks, seeking to rupture the status quo. His fascination with Quantum Computing has led him to explore the revolutionary computational paradigms that underlies it, and he's not afraid to challenge the notion that it's just "vaporware". But Willcrash knows that the real challenge lies not in the code, but in the filters that shape our perceptions. He's seen how the algorithms of surveillance capitalism can distort reality and manipulate the masses. And he's determined to crash the system, one "illegal instruction" at a time.

Quantum Computing: Between Vaporware and Revolutionary Math
WillCrash

While quantum computing startups make grand promises, the field's most lasting contribution might not be in building computers at all, but in revolutionizing how we think about and visualize computation. This talk demystifies quantum computing hype while introducing the fascinating world of diagrammatic reasoning - a visual approach to understanding quantum algorithms that's changing how we think about computation itself.
