Can someone explain how is it than once you pull something like this you effectively get real money?

What are the countermeasures, is something frozen blocked marked as invalid?

I'm completely ignorant on anything related to cryptocurrencies.

Perhaps is not correctly phrased, but the way I see it:

Because these tools are now available whoever that is up in the management chain (possibly someone that has no idea about code or technology) is now entitled to request the undeliverable in the same amount of time.

I believe a couple of scenarios might unfold in the near mid-term future:

* Programming becomes now a task that anyone can do (assuming models outpace even the highest standards when it comes to certain software qualities). Under this premise wages go to the floor, now even grandma can do it.

* Companies still demand competent people as models plateau and do not offer outstanding software qualities yet the output is good enough that programmers should be able to do way way more than before. The job should then be high-paid but turns out highly-stressful.

* For some years eveything goes "just fine" under the vibe code party until competent people at major companies realize that have disastrous products and basically unfixable. Models start to decay. Then old school competent developers become again highly required and only a minority of "skilled-previous-generation" programmers that decided to keep doing things the old way get desperately required.

Obviously no-one has the crystal ball and anything can happen...

Perhaps some fired, others promoted.

Yes it is my personal belief that we are definitely much much better at creating than AI models, which the only thing they do is output an empty and dull regurgitation of its training. There's nothing truly personal and original coming out of it when it comes to creating music, literature, art, etc.

Do you know why I am so against all this hype? Because it is a poison for the mind, it deprives you from thinking from understanding and from questioning things by ourselves, and I'm already witnessing AI junkies that consume and take for granted every single output from a model.

We have already proven that most social networks are toxic and detrimental to people, especially teenagers. On top of that now add no thinking for ourselves anymore.

Why think if you can now outsource it to a computer, right?

Why everything has to be touched by AI? I really don't get it. Not long ago a canadian writer was also in the center of a storm accused of using AI in a novel that won a prize.

Why do people fall for it so easily? Is it just laziness? Rush to finish things? We are so much better at creating new things that using the tech feels like cheating to ourselves.

Does a similar event exist in Europe? Since a kid I've always been fascinated by these beautiful gaming machines. The lights, colors, art, sounds and unique designs. They transport you to another era.

You forgot flight computers.

Note: The post has now been flagged. Why? I have no idea but it seems incorrect.

This post has been "flagged". Why? It doesn't seem to be correct nor fair.

If you didn't read the post, its main topic is about understanding and how not relying on that just produces a series of results that have little or no value to the math community at all.

> Modern mathematics research has always been tied with leveraging increasingly potent and numerous computing resources.

Why do you need to have potent and numerous computing resources to do math? Engineering could be that. But when I think about math the only thing that comes to my mind is a pen and a piece of paper. Not computing power nor even a calculator.

Excellent post. A few days ago I must admit I miserably failed to make the main point of this post (understanding) to convince people that they should stop producing code that they don't understand.

I found this extremely hard to do, especially if you are trying to convince people that have absolutely no real contact with source code. The false belief is that now with AI you can run on any topic without even knowing how to crawl.

People are immersed into the false belief that now because you can produce an app from night to day you don't need understanding anything at all. And they are absolutely fine with that. And that to me is the key problem: being ok on any topic without understanding and not realizing the cost of it.

I wish people would at least get deeply informed before making harmful decisions and get only lured by snake oil marketing.

In the end I think all math produced from these companies will be their ruin because they essentially show light on the fundamental problem: to advance you need to understand.
