I don't move in these circles but the way I picture it is that higher
mathematics in its purest form has no applications but is rather a
medium of creative expression among a select few. How is AI generating
voluminous opaque proofs of esoteric results so different from
generating millions of hours of music nobody likes or has time to hear
that we think the former is world-changing while the latter is just
slop?
- heaney-555 2mo agoDo you seriously not see the difference, or are you being intentionally obtuse? Plus, no, multiple of the problems Astra solved do have real-world applications in computer science, and perhaps even chip design.
- gradschool 2mo agoBeing obtuse comes effortlessly to me, I'm afraid. My comment pertains specifically to the kind mathematics that has no applications as a rebuttal to what I read as the author's main claim it will inevitably decline as a human endeavor. Saying that, I believe that AI has great potential to advance engineering.
