It's funny how people see "ML" models becoming superhuman at proving mathematical theorems as a sign that we're about to enter the singularity (whatever that means) or that it somehow justifies the valuations of those companies...But what I see is a scenario where companies have spent trillions of dollars on a technology, and the most non-trivial thing that technology can accomplish is a pseudo-form of automation for mathematics and coding! Remember that early on, when this whole bubble started, investors were promised that "AI" would eventually capture >70% of the world's jobs! but it could very well be the case that the only ones they're going to replace are mathematicians(and i'm not even sure about that!)!

It's irrelevant that this is a pseudo-automation, what's important is that techbros can convince people who make the decisions and concentrate wealth that this is a full automation. So expect reverse centaurs in increasingly more professions in the future.
Tell me you you don’t use frontier models regularly without telling me you don’t use frontier models
