sjjsjsjjsjaj··on AI has access to a vastly larger working memory than the human brain
Nothing is in principle impossible to understand. It just takes too long, is inconvenient and/or economically unviable.

I don’t find it hard at all to imagine that an AI comes up with a fundamental proof applicable to physics which results in some widget we can now produce that would otherwise not have been produced yet nobody takes the time to fully comprehend why it works. Somebody could, in principle, devote their lives to it and possibly get it, but for what purpose?

sjjsjsjjsjaj··on AI isn’t outthinking mathematicians, it’s out-remembering them
Did you check? Do you care if it sometimes does mov ax, 0 or sometimes xor ax,ax? (Forgive my bad memory, it was a long time ago)

Would you personally vouch, at your job, for the importance of proper assembly coding standards?
