This is true, but I still think the relevant question is, how many did they try before they found one that yielded to LLMs? The conclusion is very different if they tried 100 open problems and succeeded at one.

Not denying that these advances are impressive, but it is important to consider that this is a cherry-picked result. This doesn’t mean that AI can now be expected to do problems of similar or lower difficulty, but that it happened to work w

Investors are rarely boycotted, deposed, or otherwise held accountable for their actions. It is advantageous to adopt whatever philosophical position absolves them of any guilt or responsibility since there is no benefit to having morals, o

Like I said originally, I think the rise of ChatGPT is a partly a consequence of this. It’s not that people are choosing a different search engine, they’re not searching at all because LLMs will give a better answer faster. Also, whether it

Google has succeeded in enshittifying their search in a way that the vast majority of users (not customers -- those are the advertisers) have not noticed.

I would argue that Google has had declining quality in search results, bordering on completely unusable in the past few years, and that has resulted in people using LLMs for things that they would have searched for years ago. Although they

"Be yourself" and "be polarizing" are the author's two suggestions to... avoid boring her, specifically? Or to avoid boring everybody? I'm not sure she quite understands what makes people tick.

I see, so no substance behind your argument.

Do you have any more substance behind your arguments? Feel free to open up the preprint and read it -- it doesn't bite.

I think you're misunderstanding my claim. There's no scandal here, just run-of-the-mill academic politicking. I fully believe that ChatGPT did the work they say it did, but that it deserves about as much credit as Mathematica does

Physicist here. Did you guys actually read the paper? Am I missing something? The "key" AI-conjectured formula (39) is an obvious generalization of (35)-(38), and something a human would have guessed immediately. (35)-(38) are the

It always brings a smile to my face when it gets posted. I’ve used it to learn ways of lacing shoes, but it’s not even about that, it’s a reminder of what the internet used to be.

Love how the sign "Ulitsa" changes into something unintelligible but keeps different cyrillic characters.

Strongly agree. I've given up a job handcrafting chairs to be a foreman at the chair factory. Yes, more chairs are produced. That's not what I care about. Coding for me was always about the understanding and craftsmanship. The ass

Claiming that NFTs are still being used is a ridiculous misrepresentation of the facts.

No you are wrong. Students use AI not to augment their minds, but to replace the use of them.

To be honest, yes, given the relatively high standard of medical care that we have, I might choose to be in a world with no AI accepting the possibility that some things could have been improved.

The problem with automation is that it can suck the soul out of a job and turn something fulfilling and productive (say, a job as a woodworker) into something much more productive but devoid of fulfillment (say, working a cog in a furniture

I dunno, it sounds like novels and operas and whatnot are the luxury goods paid for with attention. In this case attention (or time, more simply) is the thing that is spent, taking the place of money.

Maybe a better generalization, the last time [bubble] happened, do you still use [bubble]? Depends on the nature of the bubble, doesn't it?

CEO's were never credible to begin with, but what about Nobel laureate in Physics, Geoffrey Hinton, telling us to stop training radiologists? Nothing makes sense anymore.

As a physicist I can say that unless ChatGPT is asked a definitional question, or a very common question (whose solution is likely described many places on the internet anyway), it is very likely to be wrong. Personally more than 90% of the

Not my experience at all… I learn faster at 40 than I did when I was younger. I don’t feel like anything is slower, plus I have the decision-making ability to actually do things efficiently as unappealing as that initially is.

I think it depends on the nature of the idea. Some are so original that just the idea independent of the execution are worthy of note (famous conjectures in mathematics come to mind). Some seem so obvious that it seems likely that many peop
