I posted a paper to Hexagon! Historically math papers were written for two somewhat contradictory reasons: 1. For other people to read. 2. To carefully verify that the claims are true. With AI these don't have to be done in the same paper anymore!

Both of these are slightly disappointing "negative" results. I was hoping to actually find a new tensor category! But this also means I think the second paper is useful even if you don't read it, because it tells you not to bother looking in this particular direction.

The other reason that I decided not to spend a bunch of time polishing the second paper is that I don't think there's any interesting new ideas. If you want the ideas, read the first paper. If you're interested just in what's true, then the second paper tells you the facts.

Two things Claude does (that ChatGPT didn’t do) that I find very charming: 1. Suggesting that I email or talk to specific mathematicians about questions. (“The simplest way to find out is to ask him.”) 2. Saying “my memory is” if it hasn’t checked something against the text.

(The former is a direct quote of Claude, the latter is from my own memory, so maybe should not have been in quotes.)

If the weak positive form of NS problem is true (Statements A/B) *and* the weak negative form is true (Statments C/D, as claimed by OpenAI), can you still get $1m by solving the former?

You Can See Everything has some elements that feel like a Knives Out film from a different universe. *chooses words carefully* Right down to the magician-detective having a female assistant to think with of uncertain complicity.

"Elizabeth Holmes isn't interesting, she's just a scam artist" is totally BS, scam artists have always been fascinating

>even sam altman would provide global UBI if openai reached singularity if you believe this you have a level of gullibility and lack of reality testing in the domain of political economy that if it applied to activities of daily living would qualify you for a conservatorship

just to go on the record here. i don't think this should be the *path we accept* by any means, but i think it's basically obvious that even sam altman would provide global UBI if openai reached singularity. i think if you expect otherwise you're kinda just negatively polarized

Man it would have been so nice if we had lived in the timeline in which companies were primarily interested in building AI tools that collaborate with and help people, rather than in building autonomous tools to replace and disempower people. Has always been the wrong goal

I can't take it anymore. There's too many papers. Every result is posted twice. It's exhausting. We need to pace the frontier.

It’s really an A+ troll by Zelenskyy to take out half of Russia’s bot farm, weeks before the US midterm elections.

It's not that puzzling at all. Mathematicians care much more about quality vs quantity. OAI has all the resources in the world to properly verify/present their results, but instead they took shortcuts because they don't actually care about mathematical understanding or community
