I agree. What would stop the AI from explaining the proof in a way human mathematicians can understand, and then giving them a roadmap for spreading it through the community via textbooks, conferences, and so on?

An AI, either acting autonomously or under human direction, hacks Russian/North Korea/etc. intelligence systems and convinces them that the US has launched ballistic missiles at them. The end.

Yes, codex/sol is extremely meticulous and obsessed with details. It will happily massively over engineer things to reduce the number of failure modes as much as possible. It's up to the user to instruct it to "chill" if

I was about to say the same thing. I wish people gave some indication on the type of tasks they use the models with. Which kind of software, industry, programming languages, or even non-coding tasks. I suspect the experience might be vastly

Really happy I got a new PC last year with 128 GB of RAM, 4 TB SSD, and an RTX 5090. This would have been prohibitively expensive now.

Congrats for a serious engineering achievement! I had experimented with a similar idea in an infinitely more primitive way more than ten years ago ( https://cyrille.rossant.net/numpy-browser-llvm/ ). I'm glad to see

This is serious. We're in uncharted territory. The geopolitical context is already complicated enough that we shouldn't be dismissive of such a rapid technological race. I'm glad AI leaders are taking it seriously. I'm s

What if my prose is AI-assisted, but it's the result of hours of conversations with an agent, with constant back-and-forth, dozens of iterative rewrites, and refinement until the structure, tone, and style are exactly right? Focusing o

This is talking to an AI colleague and not to a chatbot. That's how you use frontier models or coding agents nowadays to do good work.

I don't write code anymore, because AI writes better code than me. I could write code, but the next AI would find 10 ways to make it better and more consistent with the rest of the AI-generated codebase. So I just let it write all of i

I fully agree. I loathe slow software. I hate bloat. I love fast software. As a developer, I'm completely, even irrationally, obsessed with speed, performance optimization, and profiling. I wish more developers felt the same way.

That's one way to see it. Can't we also imagine that more and more people now rely on AI rather than humans to learn programming (or more accurately learn vibe-coding)?

Interesting. It makes me think of the idea of fighting piracy by providing a solid legal alternative through streaming platforms, etc.

One can understand why Internet access is useful, but why would it have to be mandatory?
