You’re shifting your point now, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to argue for. Regardless, it’s both clearly false that art never involved skill and that there aren’t highly skilled artists today. It’s also clear that many artists, certainly every artist I’ve ever met, see self-improvement as a core feature of their life work. So I’m not really sure where you’re getting these ideas from. I know a bit about your background. You attended school in a place where the primary ambition was to get a job at a FANG company and accrue wealth. Is that where your ideas about art were formed?

I’m just gonna take an early exit if the world becomes a place where thinking for 5 hours is some kind of sin.

Why do you believe this?

Don’t bother talking to trolls like that guy. They take strong opinions on topics they know nothing about because it makes them feel strong.

The point of my comment was that it’s unlikely there will be something else in world where AI generated output is free and the alternative is extremely expensive.

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.

Do you understand anything about how the career works, or are you just cheering on the death of things you don’t understand?

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.

It won’t. You just have no idea how the world actually works.

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.
