    Nobody has built a tool that executes a mathematical method that I have developed or at least adapted, at least not before I publish the method.

    So why haven’t you published the method?

      Because I'm in academia and it's a slow process to get things published in a way that 'counts' to the university and scientific community. I often need to implement stuff first to check a few things, whether it's viable etc.

        That’s not how it works. Put it on GitHub like the rest of us and stop making excuses.

          I'm sorry to tell you this but people do not, in fact, publish mathematical proofs on GitHub routinely. You publish them on arxive once the paper is done. And then in a journal. The solvers themselves aren't even what it's about at all, they're just to do numerical experiments with to have some examples. They aren't immediately useful for any applications outside niche research.

            You’re right that mathematical proofs are usually published on arXiv and then in journals. But since you mentioned code: sharing code on GitHub is actually very normal in research. Even if it’s just a solver or scripts for experiments, putting it on GitHub helps with reproducibility, gives others a chance to learn from or build on your work, and makes it easy to cite. There’s no obligation to polish it perfectly—lots of research repos are just “as is” snapshots to support a paper.

              Turning off AI data centers will instantly save water and energy and reduce pollution.

              But the "human counterparts" will still eat and shower if you fire them.

              So unless you are planning to murder all the unemployed people, your argument makes no sense at all.

              Listen to yourself, Thinking I'd start the reduction with unemployed people as if there isn't another class of people who do less for society. Try to think outside of the boomer education you received and those indoctrination Sundays

                To be very honest, I'm also a tad embarrassed to share my code. I guess I'll ask my professor about this.

                    Now, that is completely understandable. This is also a reason I don’t publish most of my things. They work, they work well, but… Some of it is kind of nasty. However, other developers are going to understand. Just mention this in the read me file. Or better yet, use this as an opportunity to refactor code. An LLM could be very helpful For that process.

                    If you are not familiar with the process of using git or GitHub, i’m sure many of us, including myself, would be more than happy to help you.

                      I once heard an arrogant fuck go on super confidently for like 2 hours about how AI will never master natural speaking voices

                      So yeah, be blase about the biggest existential threat to your careers that has ever existed.

                      The real tragic part is that all of you laughing are going to be unemployable within a decade

                          The worst part of your undeserved arrogance is that I won't be there to see it bite you on your ass in a career ending way.

                          Maybe take up farming?

                            Here ya go: in US someone has the audacity to ask people to use less water so that AI can function. Yet the whole city has been growing in population just fine for quite some time. A mystery, right?

                                And here I thought to have heard the funniest joke you can make. Farming. With current climate change dynamics. If I could do that, I would rather do something funnier, like bets.

                                And about who would be where: if Lemmy still stands ten years after, chances are I will be here too. But I feel safe to count on "bubble has burst, it's in the news. How ya feel there" within a few years. Will ping you for sure

                                  Replacing everyone, especially on a global scale, is unlikely to be possible, since it is too expensive. But working in large companies and earning a lot of money may not work out as before, although this will depend on the country you are in and whether your government goes crazy or not.

                                    Back when optimization was Black Magic. Now we just tell the customers they need better hardware.

                                    Someone probably had to argue hard to get 3 letter variables. Guarantee there was some one arguing for 1 letter variables.

                                      My great grandfather was a ferrier, a person who shoes horses. He trained from the age of 12 on how to trim hooves and set nails and repair damage. By all accounts he was very good at it. And at the time automobiles were only for the ultra rich as a hobby or a social statement. Horses were for everyone else, and my great granpappy was pretty sure he had a career for life and to heck with those new fangled rotomobiles

                                      But it took less than 15 years for horse ownership to collapse (and a good thing too, most cities were facing a dung removal logistical nightmare) and he went from a skilled tradesman to a day laborer to a dead alcoholic in less than 20 years

                                      Maybe you can learn some lessons from his arrogance.

                                        Oh, that I can, and thank you for your message, really. With that said, here is the differences: cars did work as a transport, and AI as it is marketed (magic replacer of all) does not, and even in the narrow use case of programming - no, it does not. It can produce heaps of lines of code, it cannot do the work of building a reliable software that does what is required of it. It has also failed to replace artists. So no, I am not afraid

                                          I never said that. Reread my comment. I want people to say "hey we should use less resources" and a good way to do that is not endlessly replicate ego spawn like a mindless virus.
