Worth paying attention to what the mathematical community are grappling with as AI breakthroughs are stomping their way through their field - because this is not directly analogous to what we had to deal with in software so far, but instructive. Also, some advancements there are canaries for our field, for example outsized gains on the formalization side of things. Overall, good for intuition-building
The beauty of this moment is also that if there is a piece of software you’re leaning on particularly heavily in your life, or planning to, you can melt tokens against it - and get very specific - to your own satisfaction. You need not fret, nor assume somebody else does it in time
Agentic-shmagentic and all that. I do mourn the loss of interactivity and flow - for when you want to go deep and keep iterating, single-mindedly, on one thing. The fuckers are just too slow, especially after all the sweeps and gates that keep the retarded shit at bay. I do hope we get it back eventually, soon
