Hard to cry this as a benefit after locking papers down behind a costly wall for decades.
tl;dr for everyone: disrupt the conservative academic establishment* *unspoken or unintended consequence being so that the oligarchy can seize the authority of intellectual credibility
This is a response to a strawman... I think we'd want to see what an actual mathematician says to sensibly analyze this discourse I do think that there are two things going on that explains the past couple weeks' breakthroughs: 1) A lot of conjectures are weakly grounded. 2) Maybe humans are biased towards proving conjectures rather than finding counter-examples (prestige in finding proofs, tedium in searching for co…
For starters he's talking about how peer review is bad because of politics. That's fair.
But no one is saying that's the case with AI math. I think that the mathematical community wants to see the methods by which the Jacobian counterexample was constructed. As opposed to "lol xd my r00b0t solved le Jacoby conjectoor"
Which serious mathematicians? There is a quotation about peer review. I'm assuming that's also made up.
This is Lemire so take it with a big grain of salt. Some notable mathematicians including Fields medalists are not 'aghast'.
