Why human oversight slows AI math but not data center construction
binarybits · x · 2026-09-15
In a debate with @efmahf, binarybits argues solving Navier-Stokes is just GPU computations, while building a data center requires raising millions, hiring hundreds of workers, and permits. His key point: human oversight would dramatically slow an AI solving equations, but barely slows data center construction since it's mostly done by humans anyway.
