binarybits: today's AI solves hard math, but running mega projects is a decade away
binarybits · x · 2026-09-16
In the debate over whether AI will manage massive engineering projects, commentator binarybits draws a line: solving hard problems (like Navier-Stokes) is a capability AI models have today, while managing huge physical projects (like building data centers) might only emerge a decade from now if robotics progresses rapidly. He argues conflating the two to forecast "runaway industrialization" is silly.
