  1. I've read a couple of breathless articles about Donald #Knuth's use of #LLM systems, and found (unsurprisingly) that he has a paper about it, if you prefer your news without someone else's hot takes:

    (Sidebar: apparently he's working on *another* volume of #TAOCP? Good lord. I still haven't worked through the exercises in Vol. 1.)

  2. I wish I could replace AI hype with TAOCP hype.

    ~OpenAI~ Knuth just dropped ~Chat GPT-5~ a new draft of Pre-Fascicle 8a. This is going to revolutionize the industry. Get on board or get left behind!
