I don't know that it's that disappointing. I doubt most of the great mathematicians were actually doing it to achieve immortality. I suspect most of them were either after (possibly indirect) practical applications (via the math -> physics -> engineering pipeline) or just "for the love of the game", appreciation of the beauty of math and the intellectual joy of doing it. AI might also take over the practical application side, but the other aspects are still there for the taking.

Lol. I assume you’re being facetious. But those companies have all been at it for decades.

Clickbait title. They only cut off the AI that was using Google as their crawler, which was not a good idea in the first place. I’d love to ask the developers of these AIs: what exactly did you expect to happen here?

If they’re not willing to pay up, then there isn’t really a shortage.

As Israel did.

Many of the people who RTO will just end up spending most of their day in a phone booth on a videocalls with people in other offices anyway.

jdale27 — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 19:37:33 +0000

OpenAI competes with Google, so obviously the government invited them to testify about how Google is a big bully that has no competition.

Why is this flagged? Seems like a reasonable take and not obviously spammy to me. Maybe overly optimistic about AI progress, but that’s debatable.

New comment by jdale27 in "Ask HN: Teams using AI – how do you prevent it from breaking your codebase?"

jdale27 — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 19:58:28 +0000

Same way you prevent humans from breaking your codebase: tests, code reviews, static analysis, etc. I agree with others that say treat AI like an intern or junior dev. They can speed you up if managed well, but need oversight. Over time the AI will get better, and will learn to learn as senior developers do.
