Opposite the Turing test, there is its dual: "Can you administer a turing test? Can you tell if you are talking to a person?" There are lots of people who fail this test. Many of them are professional evaluators in the humanities.

Those sources are crazy. The ideals form a lattice under intersection and "+". All of algebraic geometry (a very popular branch of mathematics for studying rings) is built on the lattice of ideals. There is no way of giving a ring

My evidence is just the timeline. Mathematics blew up right before physics did.

Half of the work of mathematics is in correct definitions. Groethendieck referred to the division between mathematical labors as hunting and farming. This is not my most popular opinion, but probably the most consequential invention of the

the entire premise of your objection is "what about women in porn?" OC listed three jobs total, the premise being that jobs in which a tryout is a useful evaluation tool are rare. There is no a priori reason to believe that the ve

The terrifying thing about lean and machine learning is not the idea that we will train computers on human written proof, but that we won't have to. With the rules of chess easily computed, a computer can use the bellman equations and
