Introduce Yourself - What Brought You to This Forum

[SGHolly]

We get new members regularly but rarely do we actually find out who everyone is or how they ended up here. The forum covers a fairly specific slice of the world: quantum computing, AI, tech, and the intersection of all three with money, culture and everything else.

So who are you? Are you here because you work in the field, invest in it, just find it fascinating from the outside, or did you stumble in from a search result about Bitcoin and then discover there was a whole community here?

Lurkers especially welcome to delurk.

I work in enterprise software sales and keep getting asked about AI tools by clients. Started reading the AI board to stay informed and ended up staying for the general discussion

Physics PhD student specialising in condensed matter. The Majorana 2 thread brought me here. Some of the most technically literate non-academic quantum discussion I have found

Retired IT manager with a small crypto portfolio I keep meaning to do something about. Mostly in the Bitcoin board and Money and Finance

Software engineer. We use Claude Code daily and the Miasma thread was genuinely useful for our security review

[Baz_26]

Just a regular person who got interested in quantum computing after reading a pop-science book and wanted somewhere to discuss it that was not Reddit

[Firewall Stephen]

I came here because of the wrestling board, stayed because the AI content is excellent
