Just so you can guess where the "AI" thing is headed, look at this listing from a local community college
"AI made simple for everyday life"
... And look at what comes next:
"Flaggers certification"
The exciting thing (for bosses) is the idea that knowledge workers will be as interchangeable (and precarious) as DOT flaggers

A Traditional Approach to Symbolic Piano Continuation
We present a traditional approach to symbolic piano music continuation for the MIREX 2025 Symbolic Music Generation challenge. While computational music generation has recently focused on developing large foundation models with sophisticated architectural modifications, we argue that simpler approaches remain more effective for constrained, single-instrument tasks. We thus return to a simple, unaugmented next-token-prediction objective on tokenized raw MIDI, aiming to outperform large foundatio…

Ryser's Theorem for Simple Multi-Latin Rectangle
We prove a general result on completing objects similar to Latin rectangles in which the number of occurrences of each symbol is prescribed, each cell contains multiple symbols, and no cell contains repeated symbols. This generalizes several results in the literature, and leads to confirming a conjecture of Cavenagh, Hämäläinen, Lefevre, and Stones. An $r\times s$ {\it $λ$-Latin rectangle} $L$ is an $r\times s$ array in which each cell contains a multiset of $λ$ elements from the set $\{…

Simple casting and heat treatment yields alloy with both strength and ductility
In the world of metals, it has long been considered common knowledge that achieving both strength and ductility (the ability to stretch without breaking) at the same time is nearly impossible. When a metal is made stronger, it typically becomes brittle, and when it is made more ductile, it usually loses strength—like a seesaw, where one property increases as the other decreases.
