A crime is a violation of law that can result in prison time.
A civil violation can result in financial penalties but not criminal penalties (prison)

What you are missing by waiting 5 years for an X-ray is that the rate of growth affects when the cavity needs to be filled.

The graph makes it pretty obvious that the effects isn't real. The newy steady growth in ratio 1910-1950 is more interest, but even so, the magnitude of variations is tiny.
If anything, infanticide is likely the cause of distortion. Look at China's One Child Policy.

In addition, per OP's own source, Computer Eng and Comp Science have the highest Median Wage Early Career. That's a great trade for slightly higher unemployment rate.

That's leaning into engineering, away from math. Heuristics aren't always accurate. Math history before proof is the history of delusion. Idea, heuristics, and motivation aren't nearly enough for correctness outside of a sandbox.

LLMs have LLM intuition, not human intuition. (See the movie Her.)
LLM cannot reinvent Euclid from scratch, but a larger system including LLM might.

The AI is the one earning the PhD in math.

Why do attackers need domains, instead of relying on a list of controlled IP addresses? That seems incredibly fragile.

I don't understand. Are you saying that AI should write notes but then they should be excluded from the AI's context?

Doesn't need to be "up front", but you do need to curate the context.
AI can't read your mind, and it will read what you (or anyone else) wrote.

There is centuries old legal doctrine on the subtleties of criminal intent and negligence and liability. You didn't discover a gotcha that thousands of lawyers never noticed.
