> To me, someone who chooses a worthwhile problem, obtains a proof completely using AI, understands it thoroughly, and uses it to develop interesting further questions or directions has made a substantial mathematical contribution. I would give that person substantial credit even if they supplied no new ingredient in the original proof. Choosing worthwhile problems may end up mattering more than producing proofs.

That is the correct take, but I can understand that given how current funding system (esp grants) work the incentive are stacked against doing that.

This is the type of article I really miss reading... before AI took about half of HN front page this is the type of stuff that would routinely pop up...

the comment section is super split here, some people think ai is not doing anything useful until it proves/disproves something really out there, like riemann hypothesis

I'm the CTO of a small startup that has web app, an Android and iOS app with a beefy database and media storage requirements. It's hard to see the same output possible with our current resourcing without use of LLMs. At the very least we would've needed 2 more devs just last year.

New comment by kwar13 in "MCP was always a bad idea?"

MCP is a more controlled environment than yoloing an access token. Article missed the point entirely.

TUIs are fantastic. The mere fact that they're lightweight and keyboard oriented is alone to want more of them.

I'm on Ubuntu 26.04 and I feel it's made substantial improvements in that regard compared to 24.04. It does kill the offending process (well, its best guess at it) before it freezes for good.
