> To me, someone who chooses a worthwhile problem, obtains a proof completely using AI, understands it thoroughly, and uses it to develop interesting further questions or directions has made a substantial mathematical contribution. I would give that person substantial credit even if they supplied no new ingredient in the original proof. Choosing worthwhile problems may end up mattering more than producing proofs.
That is the correct take, but I can understand that given how current funding system (esp grants) work the incentive are stacked against doing that.

the comment section is super split here, some people think ai is not doing anything useful until it proves/disproves something really out there, like riemann hypothesis
I'm the CTO of a small startup that has web app, an Android and iOS app with a beefy database and media storage requirements. It's hard to see the same output possible with our current resourcing without use of LLMs. At the very least we would've needed 2 more devs just last year.

TUIs are fantastic. The mere fact that they're lightweight and keyboard oriented is alone to want more of them.

I'm on Ubuntu 26.04 and I feel it's made substantial improvements in that regard compared to 24.04. It does kill the offending process (well, its best guess at it) before it freezes for good.

since you seem to know better, id like to know on which dimensions you think canada is doing any better than usa in the past 10-15 years as whole, or even versus other g7.
general employment? youth employment? labor participation? happiness index? gdp per capita? patents per capita? skilled migration? housing affordability? general inflation? stock market performance? real wages? housing burden? life satisfaction? growth of small business? startup echo system?

some it seems like you're implying that canada is doing better than the usa. just look at the last 10 years of real gdp growth and it couldn't be any worse for canada.
