Strange. In the article Tao mentions several mathematicians who had their problem solved by AI before they could finish their year long work.

Where they working on "slop"?

It always sounds like those old guild masters ranting about the new factories: “Well, obviously, real quality craftsmanship can only ever be done by hand. Anything else simply isn’t authentic...”

"Hacker news" and all top commenters are bashing the tool used, in a standard brute force attack. Go on shut them down... And then forbid Linux and maybe the hacker also used Bash. So also forbid this. And the hacker probably learned its ways in an online forum, so also close all of those down... Clowns.

I dont understand either. Maybe depleting budgets of competitors?

Same here. Most of the bots didn't even load anything besides the html, no js execution, no clicks...

The old net is still there to a degree, but we live in pre-Alta Vista times again. It is hard to find. (I know as I run an old-school Forum and RPG-Game for more than 20 years now.)

A simple trade off. Guaranteed malware from microsoft, or potential attacks that you can mitigate with firewalls, airgaps or Anti-Virus software.
