I was listening to a Verge podcast in which Nilay Patel remarked that of the AI companies started pushing for universal healthcare, AI would become a lot more popular. But no signs of this.

I took the most boring approach: twenty five years of steady index fund investing allowed me to retire early.

Since AI abundance is taken for granted, why not just just offer every single person in the world full health insurance?

I also love the concept of Maths in Anathem. One of my all time favorite books!

I'm a retired AI researcher and I still enjoy programming. However, I don't use any however assistance as I still want the thrill of learning new things. Unfortunately, it appears that the only way for most developers to enjoy similar activities is to be retired with enough money

How would a user know whether a generated visualization to illustrate some process is accurate or not?

Unless humans have gone through the proofs line by line and verified them, this all remains unproven.

The Cyrano de Bergerac story needs to get updated for the agent era :-)

The harness should be your own for sure but the model is the problem. Even if the model is open weight, I have no idea whether it is acting in my interest.

yeah - the dissonance is strong here

Yes - but then we may well wind up with a hoard of hungry AI labs that are just waiting for interesting problems to show up so that they can devour it before any human mathematician gets a chance to solve it.

> Now comes AI and it looks like the only bottleneck is people's motivation.

Who pays the salary of the mathematicians and the cost of accessing the AI?

Who is going to teach programmers to wield AI competently?

Much the same here - I have gone back to basics and am studying a lot more than I ever did.

You aren't worried that these binaries may have unfixed vulnerabilities?
