Yacine: simplifying model-written proofs like we simplify model-slinged code is next
yacinelearning · x · 2026-10-07
Yacine joked about the state of model-generated code — "we're simplifying the code, right??" — then made a real point: simplifying mathematical proofs the way we simplify code slinged by models is the next frontier. Behind the humor is a genuine engineering challenge: as AI output explodes, automated simplification/refactoring may be the next big problem.
