It's because it has already answered everything and anything new would be a duplicate

Yeah, everyone is freaking out about the (not very efficient as I can see) DDoS attempt, but it was a response to a totally unprovoked attempt to deanon the maintainer which could cost them freedom at least - and us all the only more or less reliable paywall remover.

Like, it is definitely bad, but I'd still prefer that to AI generated images in most contexts

But these custom songs about the deceased would not exist without the AI! This would definitely reduce the value of the funeral

That's what German unions did in the 90s. In the end it only undermines productivity of the national economy while competitor countries eat your lunch.

Like, less attractive than a slop image with stars and stripes and eagles and trucks loaded full or whatever?

You mean you've seen events than only caught your interest once they started using AI for promotion? Cause that wasn't my experience at all

Which would be good?

I mean, EVs are supposed to be cheaper than ICE vehicles. They probably would be if EU didn't let its automakers manufacture a high margin market again by blocking more affordable competitors

> provides deep insights

To whom? If there are no humans in the field, there is no one to get the insight. Maybe you are right, and there is just a new type of a mathematician being born, but as an outsider I just can't see what they could look like, what will be left for humans to contribute

I can't see how the field can even exist - not to say progress - if any problem can be solved before a human can understand it. Looks like mathematics without mathematicians, "progressing" in the same way as paperclip optimizer progresses in its productivity.

Hm... I'm not a mathematician, but why would these new more interesting problems not be solvable in the same way by the same - or newer - models?

I've never perceived him as 100% supportive. He has rather been open-minded about a new technology and exploring what it can do. Now it turns out it can destroy his field, so he's naturally against it (at least against the destruction, not necessarily against the technology)

The whole world wasn't on social media back then, so teenagers were not missing out on anything. Also youth crime rates were much higher AFAIK
