Re:I struggle to believe that AI R&D is ingenious by solyin on Saturday November 07, 2026 @05:21PM (#50408610)
Conversations with an ChatGPT with Terence Tao at the helm are a thing of beauty. An advanced practitioner prompting things beyond my understanding. Jarred Sumner's paper on the Riemann Hypothesis, however, was not that. No slight against him, but Jarred was a non-mathematician, and his prompting to improve the minimum fraction of zeta zeros by Claude amounted to "keep going" and "believe in yourself". Shit, anyone coulda done that in his position.

My point is that it does matter who's driving the AI but it also matters the route. Just like F1 champion Max Verstappen is a ridiculously better driver than me at driving an F1 car around a track, if we're just driving a friend to the airport, it doesn't really matter if it's Max or me driving, so long as we don't crash.
