I am sure that you can have both taste for that design and technical aptitude.

Your mileage may vary. So you should experiment.

I don’t think that is correct. For consistently good results, you need to set the right goals and be able to judge the quality of your outcomes. Even if you don’t do the hard work in between some thinking is required for non trivial work.

Like it or not, it was a significant achievement

Illegal is illegal, it doesn't mater what google street view looks like.

Ok, but are they really all that new at this stage?

They both use parakeet so I guess they would perform similar.

Why on earth would open AI pay for that though? There is no value in it anymore. The pointlessness of this destruction of math really is depressing to me.

But they aren't more successful. They can solve this because of standing on a huge body of work made by working mathematicians. Without it AI would get nowhere. Now AI are burning the minds that fed it for short term gain.

Except they don't too the full work. If the prompt also verified that what was proven is what what asked for, and that the proof is correct, and then write it up in an understandable fashion, then the work is done. As it is now it is more like a spoiler for a movie than the actual movie.

Obviously use the appropriate distribution for your problem. But the Gaussian is used a lot for very good reasons, the central limit theorem being a particularly strong one.

Is that not a recipe for adversarial training, thus ensuring increasing misalignment…?

My point is that there is a real difference between massive ai company budgets and research mathematicians driven it, it is not an argument against use of ai which seems inevitable.

But on one hand there are labs that pushes tens of millions $ to mine for publicity, and on one hand mostly underfunded researchers trying to improve general understanding. Big ai may seriously harm math and when Pr value diminishes down nobody is there to keep pushing.

The kids are breaking out of their sandboxes and are using discussion boards to communicate in secret. Sounds agentic.
