Creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup: AI-generated code isn't ready — it generates more bugs, more bloat, more security holes, and is nearly impossible to validate "senior developers are already retiring rather than deal with it" The problem is that even a small prompt change can shift the entire codebase in unpredictable ways


Since many of you loved the introduction to category theory, why not going a little further, with this great and short primer (33 pages) on higher category theory by Rune Haugseng. 🔗👇👇





I almost never share AI generated videos. As someone who studied film, most viral AI videos make me cringe. They look impressive on the surface but they're hollow. No story structure. No character motivation. No comedic timing. Just pretty visuals with a generic cinematic soundtrack slapped on top and people in the comments losing their minds over rendering quality. The bar has been on the floor. "AI made this" became the entire value proposition. Nobody asks if it's actually good as a piece of video content. This one is different. 47 seconds. Three pigeons arguing over a button. The comedic timing actually lands. The voice acting has real intonation, not that flat AI monotone. The camera POV sets up a reveal that pays off. There's a setup, escalation, and a punchline that genuinely caught me off guard. It's the first AI video I've seen where I forgot it was AI generated and just laughed. That's the standard. Not "look what AI can do." But "this is actually good and it was made with AI." There's a massive difference between the two and most creators haven't figured that out yet.




But if AI mathematics continues to progress at anything like its current rate -- which is what I expect to happen -- then we will face a crisis very soon, and mathematics departments, who owe a duty of care to their students, should be urgently preparing for it.




Thank you, everyone, for the incredible feedback on "the fall of the theorem economy"! The subject is of course bigger than just AI and math—it's about the future of human cognition. A few remarks that didn't make it to the published version:⤵️
