OpenAI's AI Wrote 700 Math Papers. Engineers Still Won't Trust AI With Their Code.

OpenAI just released more than 700 math research papers from a model it hasn't released. I think that's narrow superintelligence. And the reason many engineers still keep coding agents away from production tells you more about your job than the papers do.

The common story is that superhuman math means AI is coming for your job, but the real question is why that ability hasn't shown up in coding, where every lab is pouring money and the answers are easy to check. In this video, I share the inside scoop on narrow superintelligence and your work: - What the math papers contain and how the results could reach you - Why math suits AI training better than engineering or business work - How a search feature can pass every test and still create a privacy problem - Where to spend your skill points when AI ability is this uneven AI can now produce new results in mathematics, but finding the right question, designing systems that last, and following through on a decision are still human work worth getting better at.
