If you want to see the difference between vibe coding and masterful AI-assisted coding, this is it.

The last jobs left for humans will be those dedicated to keeping AI under human control. By definition, that's the one thing we can't delegate to AI.

> And even more dramatically, when asked about rumours that its model, Claude, had killed his wife by hacking into the family’s WiFi-connected microwave, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei replied “Well, yeah, sometimes.”
I had to read that twice. "Oh okay. The whole thing was satire."

I can’t upvote this enough. This is such a terrible idea. We’re really living in a dystopian world.

Starting? I've been worried for more than 4 years.

I agree. What would stop the AI from explaining the proof in a way human mathematicians can understand, and then giving them a roadmap for spreading it through the community via textbooks, conferences, and so on?

> ... 25 initial signatories — all Fields Medallists —
As a non-native English speaker, I initially understood this to mean that all living Fields Medallists had signed. I later realized that it meant only that all the signatories were Fields Medallists.
(Apparently, there are 47 living Fields Medallists today.)

An AI, either acting autonomously or under human direction, hacks Russian/North Korea/etc. intelligence systems and convinces them that the US has launched ballistic missiles at them. The end.

Am I the only one to find AI-generated courses very hard to read?

Yes, codex/sol is extremely meticulous and obsessed with details. It will happily massively over engineer things to reduce the number of failure modes as much as possible. It's up to the user to instruct it to "chill" if this level of robustness is not necessary for a given task.

I was about to say the same thing. I wish people gave some indication on the type of tasks they use the models with. Which kind of software, industry, programming languages, or even non-coding tasks. I suspect the experience might be vastly different from one type of task to another.
I'm interested in mathematics, scientific computing, data visualization, computer graphics, GPU programming, web applications, AI. I wrote several books on Python for scientific computing.
After a sudden personal event, I decided to devote a large portion of my research activities to the shaken baby syndrome controversy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37650402
