To be fair, what revolution were you expecting to see, exactly? You can 10x a "dashboard but with AI" app all you want but it's only ever going to be a "dashboard but with AI" app. And I note that nobody seems to be

Amazing. Comment upon comment, thread upon thread, failing to engage with the substance of the Field medalists' letter and instead going off on tangents about the privileges that mathematicians will lose and how they're bitter abo

The difference is that most software engineers don't care about bringing up a new generation to keep their field alive when they retire. Software engineers usually don't give a flying fuck for other software engineers, young or ol

Thanks. Regarding plagiarism, I agree that it is possible to check; I don't know how easy it is. But I do note that the mathematicians who complained that their work was plagiarised by AI did not seem to realise that they, themselves,

You're assuming too much from a single graph with vaguely named axes. I'll wait until there's more concrete information.
