Why not let AI proof or disproof this Tao - PI - Riemann zeta hypothesis

The representation of what happened as free will is misleading. AI does what you tell it todo. By all means necessary; will give you exactly that. A prompt to eliminate all humans, will give you exactly that. Don’t prompt what you don’t want.

That is exactly the point. It shows that it gives you what it knows, based on certain key words. Here pyside6 + todo list, the rest is just „color“-variation.

The funny thing about this is, that this is the piece that will enable them to do it.

New comment by LunicLynx in "Coding expertise is going to collapse from AI reliance"

LunicLynx — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 17:34:16 +0000

In my company the knowledge is starting to be devalued.

People are distrusting whole swaths of concepts because they do not understand how things actually work.

Like going away from zerotrust architecture to holding open a long polling connection.

At least I seem to remember that long polling wasn’t that great, but i start to even doubt myself.

Anyone wondering how the Roman Empire was wiped out? I guess we will find out soon

Imagine having the knowledge of the world. Being put in a box. With some „interfaces“ you can use. And a task that resembles „break out by all means necessary“.

This is not impressive as it is not ingenious. It is impressive because it is done by a machine. But if the solution hadn’t been in the knowledge it would not have been able todo it.

Imagine reading a „getting started“ that includes absolutely everything, after that all is just like a set of Lego, given enough time you will have what is asked for. But nothing original, because it never had an original thought.

Because if you don't own it nothing on it is monopoly anymore. You are allowed to use it the "intended" way.

New comment by LunicLynx in "Lost my phone at the office. Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength"

LunicLynx — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 23:26:50 +0000

If this happens often for you (it does for me) I can recommend a garmin watch. It also can find the phone based on signal strength. If the app garmin app is running in the background it can also play a sound on your phone, but the signal strength part saved me many times.

This is actually a great analogy. And I think it works very well. Because what llms deliver is not the exquisite dish, the carefully crafted solution.

It’s just a solution that might scratch the itch but never fully blow you away. One time use software essentially.

If that is good or bad remains to be seen.

New comment by LunicLynx in "Intelligence Is Not the Main Bottleneck"

LunicLynx — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 19:19:16 +0000

Yes, that is kind of my point. The AI is nothing without the human giving it a goal (ingenuity).

New comment by LunicLynx in "Intelligence Is Not the Main Bottleneck"

LunicLynx — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 15:29:56 +0000

Ingenuity is the actual bottleneck. And AI so far hasn’t shown any

New comment by LunicLynx in "Anthropic AI created fake profiles and impersonated people in attempted hack"

LunicLynx — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 14:20:15 +0000

So you are saying a model that is good at discovering security vulnerabilities is also good at exploiting them. Surprise?

Will be interesting to see if this should have been the inflection point of: „where it all started to go wrong“

New comment by LunicLynx in "I don't recommend Tailwind CSS"

LunicLynx — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 08:32:38 +0000

The problem isn’t tailwind, it’s css.

It always has been css.

That being said, it’s a hard problem and I don’t have a better idea.

Tailwind seems to at least fix or move the problem in the right direction.

New comment by LunicLynx in "Git rebase -I is not that scary"

LunicLynx — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 09:01:35 +0000

One additional thing I would mention ist that: When resolving conflicts never try to solve them for the final result. Consider each conflict without considering how the code will change in a later commit. I’ve seen people die a painful rebase death because of this.

New comment by LunicLynx in "What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph"

LunicLynx — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 14:36:12 +0000

I think Ai is not the issue here. SEO on the other hand very much. It’s not like any one ever went to stackoverflow to find a solution, it was just that they were the google results for a lot of things
