They confuse it with public domain, which means exactly that.

I first wanted to say fire, even though it's a cliche, but then I thought that in antiquity we used like everything without anything that would qualify today as understanding. Also now we have a lot of stuff that we "know" it

Yeah it s because they have a strong prior on unsolved problems being unsolvable. Once the idea of AI routinely solving conjectures enters the training data this encouragement will disappear like 2023-era prompt engineering did.

It won't be necessary in a year when the information "AI is superhuman" in all its guises enters the training data.

Thank you very much for your sensible comment. I'd like for more commments to contribute at least small things to the discussion instead of just mindless parroting. Also, I can't follow your advice, as I don't work in AI at a

Yeah given he had been very pro-AI for years, I expected he made peace with the issue many many years ago (like I did back in 2018), and when this time would come he would explain to other mathematicians how to live with it. I am a bit disa

Yes it is they all require intelligence. Navier Stokes is a test of how high the intelligence is.

I find it funny to see all these framings as AI "freeing" people from some work so they are able to do some other work. People should be more prepared for the prospect of AI doing any conceivable sort of work, and this sort of f
