    What a shitty title.

    Who is to judge if AI “Makes Strides in Mathematics” other than the matematicians.

      I make strides in mathematics all the time. Usually lateral, sometimes backwards, but strides nonetheless.

        It’s apparently able to disassemble words to run through its own parser now, but… Wow that twist ending. Trillions of dollars

    I think about this a lot, and have been vacillating between AI-driven cultural and technical stagnation due to it being so much easier to generate derivative slop rather than make something new from-scratch, and an age of cultural/technical acceleration because so many people have interesting but latent thoughts and now there are great tools to help get them out into the world much more easily.

    I guess that I have too strong opinions on the subject to beehaw, the neoliberal conformity community.
