Minor correction: OpenAI’s solution does not address the “smoothness problem”; this article states they solved the existence and smoothness problem. They claim to have solved parts (C) and (D) of the Millenium prize statement, but the smoothness problem refers to part (A).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_existence_and_sm...

“The first statement (A), which is known as the "smoothness" problem, states that there should always exist smooth and globally defined solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in three-dimensional space. The second statement (C), known as the "breakdown" problem, states that there should be at least one set of initial conditions and external forces for which there are no smooth solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations.“

Edit: Though I notice now the OpenAI blogpost does claim to solve the “smoothness and existence problem”, so maybe there’s simply terminology differences here. I’ll note many mathematicians such as Dennis Sullivan suggest part (A) is the more important part.

What is the meaning of life when GPT6 can make such a painting? It disturbs me to no end.

“Merging with the AIs” sounds like extinction of consciousness, besides the lucky animals ignored by the machines.

Will that be an option in the future if people aren’t outspoken in their critique of AI slop?

I apologize to Dan Abramov for venting my frustrations about things outside of either of our control and unfairly using him as a punching bag. He seems to be an intelligent person and I hope he continues learning mathematics using whatever tools he sees fit, including AI. It was wrong of me to do this and I will take a break from this website for one week.

It won’t. I don’t.

That knowledge won’t be accesible to people who haven’t trained in understanding mathematics. This is just a fact about the human mind. By killing off this profession you will be making it almost impossible for a large number of people to attain that.

There is no value in your technique when 2 months, or 6 months, or 2 years from now the model will improve. There is no skill in suggesting to double check work. Everything you did could be trivially automated with today’s models anyway, as you are aware. Taking credit is trying to pretend you had some meaningful role here.

It is a distinction without a difference because I want to live in a world where people get to fill their lives with meaningful things, and are not forced into Uber delivery driving jobs just because rich people like you think it’s fun to put their name next to something other people made prestigious.

Also is your position really that nobody can point to problems or criticize anything without a fully fleshed political system to replace the USA with? I don’t support the excesses of the system of the USSR or 1950s-1980s China.

I am not allowed to walk into my office without shoes. My shoes have had holes for 90% of my life. I assure you I own fewer things than you are imagining.

You’re a guy who benefited from easy choices which led to you a life of luxury and now you use your high perch to shit on people who were stupid enough to work hard to do something more meaningful with their lives than attain wealth and social status.

A distinction without a difference. I can’t believe you’re actually trying to take some kind of credit for this. That’s just so shameless.

No, you’re confused about your own analogy. That corpus of knowledge is the extra mathematics the aliens have. The LLM based AI system and the out of control AI corporations are the aliens. You are some guy inviting the aliens to degrade the possibility of a meaningful existence.

I don’t “prefer” to get cheaper options in any meaningful sense. There is no choice of mine involved in what products corporations serve. I have to buy the cheapest option because I have a poverty wage and have to survive.

For some reason you think I’m opposed to the use of AI in mathematics. This is not the case. If this guy sat down to actually learn the math and then did actual work to disseminate the knowledge in a positive sustainable way it would be a different story. His actions are just here to inspire more people to use this tool in counterproductive ways.

The beige / slightly faded Claude design trend is atrocious.

I’ll state this again. How does my economic redundancy get mitigated in anyway by being the first on the chopping block by several years? Do you think being jobless for 3 years is just missing the forest for the trees?

Do you actually think this is a good argument? I had literally zero say in what happened in the past. I did not support the Midwest getting gutted. I wasn’t even able to vote when that was happening? Would it shock you that I generally think capital is misaligned to humanity?

Probably because you don’t actually know how the culture of mathematics maintains the capacity for humans to learn mathematics.

It won’t. It will lead to a culture which makes it impossible to actually spend a life learning mathematics deeply.

It’s a problem that someone could describe in a talk and attribute to a prominent mathematician and which would have resulted in significant career opportunities for having solved in 2021. You don’t understand this because you don’t care that you’re degrading the tiny chance people had to actually learn mathematics.

I disagree. I see nothing creative about this guy’s efforts. The models will continue improving and soon his creative leaps of asking it to double check won’t be necessary.

I’m not actually upset with your actions I was just worked up at the time. You’re in a dilemma and graciously handling it the way you are is the only sensible path.

You are not the alien. You are the other human being extracting value from labor and efforts of other humans, with nothing but contempt from them. I am not mad at the computer. What a ridiculous analogy.

I read your blog and nothing in it indicates you did anything besides mindless continue shotting. You don’t know this because you don’t know anything about the culture you’re stomping on.

Yes I was concerned. That kind of projection is only possible in people who lack empathy.

The math career is going to killed off 2-3 years before law and medicine and Wall Street banker. How does this make me more secure in any way?
