alt Hacker NewsThis is a Western-centric viewpoint. I'm in Asia visiting a few different countries right now, including the big ones, and much has changed with AI and also in general over the past 10 years with cars, trains etc.
> AI is solving mathematics problems (that nobody - including mathematicians - wanted it to solve)
Strange viewpoint. In mathematics any novel result is useful as it expands the scope of other results. Who are these mathematicians who didn't want AI to solve the problems it did? I see trepidation about the future of the field but that is not equivalent to not wanting them to be solved.

I'm curious, care to name a few things that have changed in Asia with AI (and wouldn't have without)?
That is not how math works. There are reasons why the Riemann integral is pervasive and the Labague integral is rarely used unless needed. Just because you can do something does not mean that you should.
Terence Tao and the apparently newly formed Association For Human Mathematics. The post is online-famous now for the line "Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done."
