<p>This is extremely what Ive been wanting -- I had previously thought about using one of the hackish apps that try to deliver this experience - or spinning up something for this myself ... - but integrating this directly is definitely the right way to provide the best system and product experience -- and this seems to work out of the box exactly as I would want!</p>

<p>Like so many things -- the evolution of AI math will I think follow trajectories hinted at in the 90s by the all time great sci-fi author Greg Egan.  The nature of math won't change -- but the why of it definitely will.  Egan imagined a future ai civilization in Diaspora where "math discovery" -- by nature in the future perhaps accurately described as "mechanistic math discovery" is modeled by society as a kind of salt mine environment in which you can dig for arbitrarily long amounts of time and find new nuggets.  The nuggets themselves have a kind of "pure value" as mathematical objects even if they might not have any knowable value outside the mines.  Some personalities were interested in and valued the nuggets for their own sake while others didn't but recognized that there were occasionally nuggets found in the mind that had broader appeal.<p>Research institutes like those founded by Terence Tao in our current present feel like they will align to this future almost perfectly on a long enough timeline -- tho I think on a shorter timeline this area of research is almost certain to provide a ton of useful ways to advance our current ai systems as our current systems are still in a state where literally anything that can generate new information that is "accurate" in some way -- like our current theorem prover engines are enormously valuable parts of our still manually curated training loops.</p>

<p>I really like this style of testing -- code that can be tested this way is also the most fun kind of code to work with and the most likely to behave predictably.<p>I love determinism and plain old data.</p>

<p>I'm more and more convinced of the importance of this.<p>There is a very interesting thing happening right now where the "llm over promisers" are incentivized to over promise for all the normal reasons -- but ALSO to create the perception that the "next/soon" breakthrough is only going to be applicable when run on huge cloud infra such that running locally is never going to be all that useful ... I tend to think that will prove wildly wrong and that we will very soon arrive at a world where state of art LLM workloads should be expected to be massively more efficiently runnable than they currently are -- to the point of not even being the bottleneck of the workflows that use these components.  Additionally these workloads will be viable to run locally on common current_year consumer level hardware ...<p>"llm is about to be general intelligence and sufficient llm can never run locally" is a highly highly temporary state that should soon be falsifiable imo.  I don't think the llm part of the "ai computation" will be the perf bottleneck for long.</p>

<p>It takes more than just misaligned incentives to get a banking crisis -- you have to have structural corruption preventing the transfer of
the loss gradient back to the "misaligned" decision makers.  It's somewhat disingenuous (or overly innocent) to reimagine the pathways which power structural corruption as "innocent ignorance in the face of bad incentives".<p>The real world has "actually bad" actors -- not just misaligned incentives.</p>

<p>I predict that if they take this same philosophy and use this money to add some new pieces on top where those new pieces are 'open' in the same way as their current hardware stack but which allows them to also run 'gpu bound' workloads well -- then I suspect they will make a ton of money.</p>
