The Erdos problem solutions have been accelerating, including a $250 problem and a $100 problem.
It's been fun watching the cope collapse from day to day. No one told me a slow takeoff Singularity would have so much schadenfreude.

I'm constantly surprised at how much schadenfreude there is on hacker news about LLMs. Like, do you guys (and girls) not have to work for a living?
I don't. I'm retired.
I'm also not going to live all that much longer, most likely, so it's kind of annoying I'm not really going to see any upsides to an AI world either. I'm discounting the possibility of our AI overlords figuring out a miracle like reversing aging.
But it is really f-ing cool that automated math is now a thing and we are seeing it. Eat your heart out, past me.

I don't think the "permanent underclass" will see many upsides either. They certainly won't have the money to pay for it. I'm excluding myself in that statement because luckily I have access to large amounts of barbiturates.
