Interesting blog from a compsci teacher, even if it is a tad bit old (February). https://htmx.org/essays/yes-and/

I find this metaphor from https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=10169 very beautiful, > In Quanta magazine, Jordana Cepelewitz https://www.quantamagazine.org/is-ai-the-end-of-math-as-we-know-it-20261005/: > It’s as if you were teleported to the peak of a tall mountain. Surrounded by fog, you have no idea where you are, or what’s around you. You do not know how your mountain connects to others, and you have no equipment to help you explore, no way to help someone else join you. If you had climbed the mountain yourself, you would have experienced how the human body adapts to altitude and changes in oxygen levels. You might have had to invent tools to navigate, to climb steep cliffs, or to make a shelter. You might have encountered a fellow explorer, gotten lost together in a hidden valley, and found a plant that could be turned into a life-saving medicine. > Instead you’re perched on the peak but in the dark, while the maker of the teleportation machine tells you that it can explore the wilderness better than any human. Not really relevant, but the recent things about math also reminds me that Ke Jie shed tears after losing a 0–3 series to AlphaGo in 2017.
