It took the software engineering community (in the broader sense) three weeks or so to overcome "vibe shame" and to adapt to the new realities. This was about a year ago. There was some luddite butthurt and discussions for sure but at the end of the day we came out of it unscathed.

Other communities, on the other hand, have bigger difficulties to make this transition. While I have nothing against mathematicians or their trade as individuals - as a cohort, they start looking like a pack of gatekeeping faggots.

I suspect that this is a result of them being tied to institutions and having "leaders". This right there is the price you pay for being close to the state and being dependent on it.

My favorite part about our trade is that it's ultimately "demo driven" and "result driven" so that stupid behavior and the inability to adapt is sooner or later punished. This also underscores what we need to win: results and not academic discussions or sophistry.

OpenAI is 'solving' math problems (mostly simple ones that nobody had bothered to solve) using unpublished material - half baked ideas entered as prompts, the result of which has no peer review. This is just PR for AI
