Victor Taelin: formal verification explodes as AI collapses proof costs
pwlot · x · 2026-10-24
Victor Taelin lays out why formal verification is taking off now: (1) the cost of proofs is falling as AI gets more capable; (2) the cost of exploits rises as AI gets more dangerous; (3) proofs exterminate exploits; (4) proof checking doubles as a perfect math/coding RL reward signal. The rest, he says, is economics.
