Hyperbolic geometry is the worst form of geometry except for all the others.

There's no point in coping. The AI will be better than you at coping within 6 months.

I've just been a bit depressed and resigned lately and meanwhile my gf (who is a lot more left-y and anarchist-y than I am) is talking to me like this

Okay I'm still a filthy capitalist but given how AI companies themselves talk about what's going on, the reaction seems somewhat understandable. Definitely not an AI pessimist but "fuck you we'll take your job and enslave you" is maybe good marketing but bad optics
funny how leftists fervently pontificated about “luxury space gay communism” for years only to turn to ludditism the second a technology capable of getting us there became accessible

>Too much of the AI safety community is "a giant homogenous blob of correlated views," and anyone in SF with friends in that crowd is at least adjacent to it
The only thing that can stop a bad AI safety polycule is a good AI safety polycule c'mon let's get this shit started
SITUATION EXPLAINED: Google DeepMind's Séb Krier is more worried about the decay of institutions than about AI killing everyone.
• AI risk discourse has become so totalizing that some people act like the power-seeking optimizers they fear
• Too much of the AI safety community is "a giant homogenous blob of correlated views," and anyone in SF with friends in that crowd is at least adjacent to it
• The Hugging Face incident comes down to the training regime, poor eval environments and bad engineering, not models trying to take over
• People who get rich and leave the labs often hit a crisis of meaning, looking for something to believe in or some equivalent of repentance
• Too many people treat AGI and ASI as a god, when machines can be smarter than humans without being literally magic
@theojaffee: "He lives in New York and not in San Francisco, so he's not going to the exact same parties with the exact same people and the exact same monoculture all the time."
@schisofrenia: "We have, like, literally just topic mode collapse in SF where we all talk about the same thing and largely the same takes about the same thing."

Kind of surprised it didn't get a better bound on the Gauss circle problem. I guess it was because the problem wasn't posed to it because I image the exponential-sum fuckery needed would be right up its alley.

I think the only current cogent thought I have is this: we are now producing way more ''correct maths" then we are capable of reading. AI can come up with a 40 page proof of completely unreadable slop of whatever you want it to prove in essentially an instant.
It's over it's over it's over it's over it's over It's over it's over it's over it's over it's over It's over it's over it's over it's over it's over It's over it's over it's over it's over it's over It's over it's over it's over it's over it's over It's over it's over it's over

I think we can declare "math 1.0" officially dead. The entire way the mathematics academic system is structured is dead. I think it was already moribund before AI, but this was the coup the grâce.

So like people who write and comment in some position have significantly less information than a random person who reads Times of Israel headlines once a month
Deleting because it looks like I seriously underestimated this guy's current standing in Israeli politics via Smotrich's party.

GG time to pack it up
Quasi-RH?!?!???! Are you kidding me? If a human did this, it would be an instant Fields Medal, no questions asked.
RH says zeta has no zeros in Re(s)>1/2. The best we had until a second ago was a region that got thinner and thinner the higher up the imaginary axis you go. I thought maybe they’d fatten that up a bit, that’d be a massive breakthrough. But no. They got a zero free strip!!!! Insane

There's a bunch of other results on here that blow my mind but this is insane. Honestly more surprising than the proof of Navier Stokes.
