My greatest annoyance with AI culture is how everything it touches becomes about AI. A mathematical theorem is proved, an art piece is made, a piece of software is created, and the announcement is nothing about the thing itself. It's all about whether they used AI and how. 622 views · 8 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Turns out the great R vs Python debate was resolved in the craziest way possible. No need to pick either one because AI's don't care, and humans won't be writing 99% of the code anyway. 76.1K views · 1.4K likes · 92 reposts · 45 replies Open on X →

@kareem_carr This is so stupid. It’s like saying “spreadsheets killed statistics”. 5.4K views · 59 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

This is an incredible time. After 1000+ years, math is becoming a semi-empirical science where you understand things to be correct because they have been computer verified, and not because you personally understand them from first principles. 32.1K views · 282 likes · 22 reposts · 26 replies Open on X →

Data science feels so dead now that it's like it never existed at all. AI seems to have killed it 556.7K views · 4.8K likes · 218 reposts · 184 replies Open on X →

The way people talk about AI transforming science makes it clear they have no clue how much scientists already use machine learning. What AI changes is cost. It's cheaper than hiring programmers, especially when those programmers need to be science-trained to be useful. 11K views · 110 likes · 8 reposts · 16 replies Open on X →
