Sharing AI progress in mathematics

Money doesn't work that way though. There are plenty of jobs people would like to get paid to do, that doesn't mean someone needs to psy them to do it.

I'm well aware that if at some point AI is good enough to replace me as a software engineer then I won't have a job. I don't expect a company to continue to pay me simply because I enjoy it if there are cheaper options out there.

Math is no different.

As long as that company doesn't expect me to continue in their employment if I stop enjoying it, then we understand each other.

Total compensation includes fun.

Oh sure, you're well within your right to leave a job when you're sick of it. Nothing wring with that.

So what? Why should my life be ruled by money alone? Why should my life not have a mix of intrisic and extrinsic motivational drives? Why should I respect a company like OpenAI that disrespects my mix of extrinsic and extrinsic drives when I am the customer?

Or am I just a product to them?
