It's interesting to see this all play out. Yes, on a personal level, it's a bummer for mathematicians that have the goal of figuring something out, and getting personal recognition and prize money. But now that AI can do this work better, I think we should mostly just celebrate that we can suddenly solve a lot of problems, and figure out how to use these abilities in a productive way. Math needs to change, just like software development has massively changed.

Apple should have morphed Siri into a Muse-like experience a year ago. But they didn't. Muse is great and millions of people are already getting used to having it be a part of their daily lives.

This type of sentiment made sense a year ago. It's a joke in the age of Astra and Opus 5.5.
Of course you can accomplish in 3 hours what used to take weeks.

Is it really "blanket surveillance" when it only sees exactly what you put into it? That's like saying you're being filmed against your will while... filming yourself.

I think the recent AI summit (sorry, SI summit) in Washington established the good precedent that these model companies are responsible for making safe products. If a swam of agents breaks out of a sandbox and causes damages, the company that was running those agents should be held accountable. No better motivation for corporate good governance than massive lawsuits and possible criminal investigations.
Get's a little tricker when a customer intentionally manipulates/uses a model for crimes, I suppose.

Imagine calling it racist to suggest this person became infected from a Russian lab.
Because that's what happened when people suggested the most obvious origin of the Covid pandemic.

A lot of Europeans are salty about the continent's decline into near irrelevance in terms of leading edge innovation. It's 90% the US and China at this point. But would be great to see that change.
