there are many ways to make a man hate you passionately. you can steal his car and kill his dog. you can piss on the rug that really held the room together. or you can give him free software.

More seriously though people assume the wrong things are hard and that all cumulates into the pipelines of who gets to design evidence. Ppl assume coding graphs is hard and designing research is easy. It's the opposite pretty much.

Yeah so like, I know it’s all hip to doom-jerk about how nobody is going to hire juniors or middle managers anymore because of AI (directly or as an excuse), and I think it’s high time to invest in the counterfactual here, because it’s gonna hit faster than you think

reminding myself that "go Pope Leo" skeets are mostly better interpreted as "thank goodness at least _one_ elite institution has a different take than the uniform terribleness" and not "actually I endorse this sexist homophobic institution that puts way too much effort into defending child abusers"

McKinsey’s clients are pushing back against the billable hours model given its clear AI makes that a farce. Instead clients are increasingly tying payment to actual results. I expect every white collar field that bills based on human effort to face a similar shift to a performance based model.

so how is the openai erdös planar distance result (2026) qualitatively different from the SAT-solver erdös discrepancy result (2014)? far as I can tell both were ground out by machine and improved by humans (2014: generalized, which might be the big deal)
