Two years from now, when a proof of the Collatz conjecture is announced and verified:
"No one cares about that! What practical applications does it have? It's pretty trivial anyways. More hype from the AI psychosis crowd."
- onecomment1 3mo agoI don’t care if AI solves the collatz conjecture either, why should I? If, after stealing all human knowledge, spending $1T+ on compute, hiring the best in the world while also stalling progress in other fields by pulling funding from fundamental research is a bunch of lousy math proofs then thats terrible trade. There is an opportunity cost here. I don’t have anything against AI, and I do think it will progress a lot just like all other human endeavors. But this doomer permanent underclass humans are worthless myopic view of AI is not where its at
