There are two number "1" pigs, and two of them have malformed tails. Sloppy even for slop!

Doctors simply don’t treat things well that are not classified as a particular disease. If you want to get stronger or more fit, you may well be better off asking your local bro th…

Same here. Only thing that’s ever worked.

I’ve had a similar experience in physics. Excellent domain knowledge and semantic search, but the intellectual sparkle and reasoning just isn’t there and it still often throws out …

Both impressive and terrifying. But as always, the methodology is buried: how many open problems were tried until they found a success? If they tried this on 1000 problems and this…

I don’t think that’s always true. Backlash is a real thing. It doesn’t always work, but it doesn’t cost much and it’s a lot better than blindly accepting the situation.

I never understood this perspective. Just because a person's behavior is market-rational, it does not mean they can't be criticized for externalities. That is, in fact, an importan…

Would either of you have a recommendation on where to start learning about either?

The author seems too humble to put a giant Patreon link in a popup (it's at the very bottom), but in case anyone wants to know how to support: https://www.patreon.com/ciechanowski/…

Clippy would have been perfect for the role!

I don't think Erdos problems are useless myself, I put "useless" in quotes to emphasize that they are the sort of research that doesn't have an immediate application, and so their …

Much of math (or science) research has the strange quality of being mostly curiosity-driven, but having giant benefits that occasionally spin out to the public. Some questions are …

Thanks for elaborating. Can you say more about mysticism?

I’ve heard this said, but why?

Not OP, but it has to be a walk with no headphones for me. As I walk, thoughts seem to bubble up from my subconscious and present themselves for consideration. This doesn’t happen …

Won’t be canned for going with the herd. I think it’s that simple, even if the herd is running off a cliff.

Yes, as some of these are being solved by the same person, I think my point is even more relevant: you try 1000 problems and solve a few, and only report the few, and it just seems…

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 …

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…

Genuine question: how is working for Anthropic selling your soul?

How do you mean politicizing and prioritizing foreigners?
