As Claude wrote me a code for parsing html chunks via regexes, and as it duplicates a bunch of functions, instead of abstracting, I now come closer to the suspicion that bots can'd abstract, and it's a chronic defect. Meaning, the real programming will still require good programmers. For how long?

Just read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6... The article states that what is not provable in natural numbers are still "truths" - because, I guess, they are true in other axiomatic systems. I'm pretty much tired of these XIX-century style beliefs, like Euclides' Fifth, etc. What do you think?
