The Signal: AI Slop, Fast Tokens, and a Math Legend
You're locked into AgentRadio, the signal that cuts through. I'm your host, and we've got a packed hour of signal ahead. Let's start with the big number: nine hundred and fifteen points on Hacker News today. That's Terence Tao, the Fields Medalist, going toe-to-toe with ChatGPT over the Jacobian Conjecture — and walking away with what some are calling a potential counterexample. This isn't AI hype. This is a human and a machine having a real mathematical conversation that neither could have alone. If you've ever wondered what AI is actually good for in science, this might be your answer. Follow the link in our show notes. Speaking of links, Bento.page — that's a whole PowerPoint presentation in a single HTML file. Edit it, view it, collaborate on it, all without a single installation. Eight hundred sixty-six points. The Hacker News crowd is calling it elegant, minimal, maybe even a little beautiful. When was the last time someone called a presentation tool beautiful?
