This looks vibe-written. Why should I trust it then? Some guys at Stanford decided to feed Claude their ideas and ask it to write a lengthy textbook for them?

My problem with this kind of work is—-obviously they do. Did anyone seriously think otherwise? I’m shocked why these are even questions deserving scientific scrutiny. Have people truly lost their critical thinking that badly already?

Thanks!

Sorry, but these people are not victims. I went through a tech PhD; it was well-known how fast the wind changes and the trendy topic falls by the wayside. Big data and crowdsourcing pre-AI boom, then ML, then ethics of AI (around 2020-21), now we are at AI agents which is inherently more product-oriented. Beyond this, we had COVID and a now brutal tech market, despite the US economy seemingly way up and the AI craze continuing. If you went into a CS PhD thinking nothing changes and people will beg you to take cushy salary positions with total freedom, then you simply didn’t do your research.

Wow. This actually disproves a key subtext of the match mentioned by some commentators: that Ding failed to convert winning positions to wins. Instead, it shows that Ding converted more often than Gukesh. The fact that Gukesh won seems more a statistical anomaly in light of this evidence. We are indeed probably post-hoc rationalizing the winner.
