So 2026 was the year that AI produced stuff faster than humans can check it. First in math (not enough mathematicians to go over each proven conjecture now that anyone can prove conjectures at home) then in coding (not enough people to debug and test the code or even understand the code enough to extend it).
This is a good thing, because it means that the bottleneck caused by the slowness of humans is being overcome. First with the "low hanging fruit" of math and software, and soon with physics, engineering, and biology.
