Two years from now, when a proof of the Collatz conjecture is announced and verified:
"No one cares about that! What practical applications does it have? It's pretty trivial anyways. More hype from the AI psychosis crowd."
"No one cares about that! What practical applications does it have? It's pretty trivial anyways. More hype from the AI psychosis crowd."
If, after stealing all human knowledge, spending $1T+ on compute, hiring the best in the world while also stalling progress in other fields by pulling funding from fundamental research is a bunch of lousy math proofs then thats terrible trade. There is an opportunity cost here.
I don’t have anything against AI, and I do think it will progress a lot just like all other human endeavors. But this doomer permanent underclass humans are worthless myopic view of AI is not where its at
