I think the authors also used Antigravity to write this article, because it sucks at communicating whatever point it’s trying to make. I think it’s something like “We did the OpenAI 100 problems thing, but across many disciplines, and in collaboration with the experts instead of just dumping results on the world, and we also made the tooling feature available,” but I’m not sure because it has that distinct Gemini flavor of packing in so many low-level details that the actual point becomes entirely obscured.

It is a shame that Gemini prose has become too detail dense in recent releases. Its prose was one of its distinct advantages over Claude with that annoying Claude speak...

It seems like they already announced /teamwork earlier [0], but now just announced that they got some scientific results out of it. They probably intentionally want to keep this low key, but in that case it's not clear why announce it at all.
It sounds like they're saying they now offer an option, "/teamwork", that will throw more computer at a problem by choosing a team and a workflow that you the user don't have to (or get to?) know about.

The pattern seems to be pervasive at Google. Too much Ai, not enough human, top-down orders

Interesting that a Rust re-write pre optimisation was 30% slower than the C++ equivalent.
I wonder if they optimised the C++ it would actually have more speed benefits than the Rust alternative. Only they can't claim it's a Rust rewrite like every other company at the moment.

Sloppification is now called "advancing". That may even be innovative.

How to steal scientists' ideas and buckmaster them under the guise of "teamwork".
Also, how to steal C code bases and claim obviously made up performance numbers.
Has professional advertising turned into vibe advertising as well?

Mathematicians have reported that OAI models' approach to NS was different from Buckmaster's.

It's pretty clear "credit" for things is going away, we're going to have to adapt to that. This includes people achieving big things with or without AI, don't expect anyone to be impressed or care, you just have to feel good about what you did being used.

That has been true of a lot of good science for a while.
The person who gets the credit is just the person who wrote the grant. They are usually _capable_ of doing good science but the demands of being a PI mean they are mostly just grant writers and administrators. Huge teams of unknown postdocs, grad students etc. are doing most of the work.

That's inside that particular singularity, where nothing means anything, you just "adapt".
But from the outside, it's just a bunch of people turning into a blob we don't care about as a whole. We still care about the individual humans who haven't jumped into that gravity well. Humans care about their ancestors, their neighbours, authors and audiences. The people who don't can't fathom that, it's a sort of blind spot for them, but we are completely untouched and unmoved by that. The ideas in your head about the bonds between other people doesn't affect those bonds.

Now everyone leaks everything by using AI even for mundane things like file format conversions.
