yuuu··on What should we tell our students?
It’s good marketing because people perceive mathematicians as the smartest of the smart.
yuuu··on What should we tell our students?
> in which case almost none are

It's this one, but different careers will diminish at different rates. Mathematics was already not financially well rewarded, and current AI is basically better than everyone in the field.

> this very attitude could lead to AI creating one of the biggest slowdowns in progress in history

I think there are enough young people with pre-AI experience that we'll probably develop superintelligence before they retire, so I don't really think a near-term lack of fresh talent will result in any significant slowdown.

yuuu··on What should we tell our students?
> I doubt they went into it for the money.

I assumed the student ultimately wants a career that is financially viable.

> Then what?

Literally anything else?

yuuu··on What should we tell our students?
I would probably tell them to not study math.

yuuu··on Is the Standard Model overfitting or am I curve-fitting?
> AI performed the mathematical verification

That should be done by the human writing the manuscript, i.e., you.

yuuu··on Is the Standard Model overfitting or am I curve-fitting?
From the manuscript linked in your profile:

> The author declares the intensive and extensive use of Gemini 2.5 Flash and Gemini 3.0 Pro (Google) and sincerely thanks its unlimited interlocution capacity. The author declares as their own responsibility the abstract formulation of the research, the conceptual guidance, and the decision-making in case of intellectual dilemma. The AI performed the mathematical verification of the multiple hypotheses considered throughout the process, but the author is solely responsible for the final content of this article. The prompts are not declared because they number in the thousands, because they are not entirely preserved, and because they contain elements that are part of the author’s privacy.

yuuu··on Show HN: Whole Git repo was made with ChatGPT
> However, at some level you have to admit that the input to ChatGPT is almost as high level as directives from project managers, and the output is almost low level enough to simply input directly into source control.

This is the part that is going to change the way people work in fundamental ways very quickly. It will turn good software developers into non-shitty project managers, project managers into ?, and mediocre developers into ?.
