This slide is written from perspective of the "existing reference frame" of mathematicians whereas the other slides are more forward-looking into a post-AI world. So this slide describes the experience of a mathematician working in the "old way" who's looking to use their existing way of interfacing with mathematics to deal with the new AI-assisted onslaught.

@claudeai How about we itemize this on invoices as "subagent surcharge"? Like I get that "we gotta sell more tokens" but let's at least be transparent about it

>  Error: Subagents should return findings as text, not write report files.

@claudeai Claude code always defaults to the `origin/main` branch for worktrees. WTF? Obviously I'm trying to branch off the current branch

@pauljunsukHan @Aella_Girl That’s a classic way to get clostridium perfringens food poisoning from chicken not properly temperature controlled. The bacterial spores survive cooking and the food still looks/smells/tastes normal.

@startingfromnix @ali_debow Exactly. That's why @rarebirdapp just taps directly into your intuition and bypasses the whole verbal part by showing you two holistic profiles and asking who you'd rather meet. This teaches your AI matchmaker exactly what excites you and what you prioritize in a match

Today we're introducing Rarebird: turning online dating into AI matchmaking. The existing apps just keep you swiping endlessly, trapped in a loop. But Rarebird focuses directly on finding those few great matches who are out there somewhere.

[Jey Kottalam @jeyjey]

@EpistemicHope That's why we created Rarebird -- to actually deliver on the promises of online dating by learning what you're looking for in a match and finding people with high mutual interest.

@EpistemicHope Thing is, OkCupid wasn't ruined by Match Group just cause they're evil. Old OkCupid didn't solve the spam problem, and even their attempt at match quality was just a good first start -- innovative for 2008.

Every dating app claims to help you find love. But they've created a system where your loneliness is their business model, and real connection is always just one more swipe away.

Today seems like a good day to talk about how we're fixing this. 🧵
