| tl;dr: Summary not available |
| HN Discussion:- ↓Tao's cancer/mechanism example is misinformed; much of medicine and engineering works without full mechanistic understanding
- ↑Tao accurately captures the grief and disruption mathematicians feel as AI solves long-standing problems
- ↑Tao's framing of math as a shared 'codebase' that AI fails to contribute to elegantly is insightful
- ↓Tao focuses too much on current AI limitations and avoids confronting the future obsolescence of human mathematicians
- ↑Context matters: Tao is broadly pro-AI and is thoughtfully exploring how human work will evolve
