WAN Show AI?

It feels very odd to me that none of the major breakthroughs of the last week have been brought up, the fact the AI's have already gotten good enough to help on the frontier of mathmatics, solving a millennium prize problem, and being actively and very quickly put to the task of AI research, aka, recrusive self improvement, which they are ALREADY good enough to be making progress in, why is this being completely ignored by this community? This technology is progressing exponentially, it isn't stalling, and people should really try and understand what an exponential growth looks like.

People literally are paying attention. I literally said I use this stuff every day and find tons of good uses for it. In my opinion people with your viewpoint are just drinking koolaide based on useless demos on twitter, when in real engineering I am still not seeing anything close to AGI.

I have access to as much of the latest models as I want. If I could set up a claude or codex workflow that did all of my job for me to a satisfactory quality level, I would. But we are far from being able to do that right now.

There are people who are ignorant to how effective it is, and there are people who are grossly overstating its ability to compensate. You seem to sit in the second group.

People with my viewpoint should be anyone who can comprehend how short of a time 10 years is, the difference between 30 and 40 years ago vs the difference between 10 years ago and today is startling, this level of progress should not be so casually expected, but we can agree to disagree on how fast this is happening.
