You’re conflating two ways of understanding “credit”. One version is what the tool gets, an honest description that the tool solved it. The other is a concept used in the math community to divvy up job opportunities.

Dude you’re so far removed from understanding anything about what the math community thinks. Just stop this nonsense. This is not “your” result.

Kevin Buzzard is famous. You’re pedantically misinterpreting my comment to feel clever. You have nothing more to make of my comment because you don’t care to consider the actual problem here.

You have no idea how mathematics has progressed for thousands of years. How about having some humility and understanding the culture you’re cheering on the death of? It’s a goddamn credit based system.

Nope I’m airing them right here. This guy didn’t do any work except tell the bot to continue for a month. That’s not work, that’s just unhealthy and negative. He’s made no intellectual progress. He doesn’t even know any mathematics and has

You’re just mentioning established and famous people. What about the average people who are just going to get fucked for spending their lives trying to promote humanity, just to be rewarded with the risk of economic ruin and no job prospect

Luckily for these guys the problem is famous enough that giving some kind of credit for its resolution even makes sense at all. The vast majority of published work is not like this. There’s not going to be any credit divvied up to the thous

It is a famous problem!!!!!!!!!! You literally understand nothing about the culture you’re stomping all over.

Since you respect Terence Tao, but not the general population of mathematicians, maybe you’ll read his blog posts which describe the ways your actions are detrimental to human striving.

I usually shit post on this website because it’s full of amoral idiots who just want to make a lot of money and don’t care about others, but I want to suggest to you that arguing using extreme analogies is almost never a persuasive rhetoric

I disagree with the other guy. I think you’re a bad person flippantly participating in the destruction of a culture, wasting people’s time.

That’s because you have literally no idea about anything you’re weighing in on.

It’s because most people contrive arguments to support what they feel. They don’t examine arguments on their merits and then decide what’s right.

This is just an immoral thing to do. If you don’t understand why you should read Terence Tao’s posts about stripmining. This guy isn’t committed to understanding anything. He’s just screwing around and hoping other people who are turn this

There won’t be anybody around to understand and care about the new open problems if the AI companies proceed with totally destroying the culture of mathematics. Gowers doesn’t care, apparently because it’s just about winning for him. Same w

Really hardcore spherical trigonometry comes to mind, but I may be off by a century. It used to be considered fundamental, but almost nobody besides maybe a few historians of mathematics knows the methods anymore.

Why is it always a false dichotomy between two ridiculous extremes? Maybe inventing some dangerous technology benefits from human understanding for a bunch of obvious reasons, like human beings being responsible it goes well?
