On: OpenAI withdraws three mathematical results

> No it isn't lol. Have you worked on any real systems with customers?

I have. Those systems already fail in spectacular ways and people tell their bosses that some worker process stopped working because its transaction IDs overflowed.

I bet that sounds like `the flux capacitor stopped reticulating splines` which is already an implementation detail for the boss anyway. Nothing changes.

Right, so who's going to ask Claude to investigate the worker processes and fix the transaction ID overflow? The CEO? Someone in marketing? The sales team?

Or maaaaaybe.... an engineer?

if your boss is prompting the AI, that's what the claude output is going to sound like, if not worse.
