I deleted my previous post. I'm just going to post the entire statement page by page. It's a complicated situation.

This is the WEIRDEST thing you will hear for a while about the OpenAI x Anthropic feud:
> be Tristan Buckmaster
> NYU mathematician
> spend a month with coauthor + AI to prove a major Euler blowup result
> start hearing rumors online that Anthropic has solved a major open math problem
> realize the rumor may be connected to our work
> find out that our project has reached OpenAI
> contact OpenAI to see what’s going on
> a few days later they me their model has a 100 page Navier–Stokes proof
> asks me to publish it
> CATCH: drop my coauthor because he works at Anthropic
> refuse
> OpenAI: “why would you ruin your career?”
Terence Tao a few hours ago on Alpöge and Buckmaster’s new math breakthrough. TL;DR:
“a remarkable achievement”
“rhe arguments contain significant Al input, although the authors have been working extensively in the past few weeks to rework them into an acceptable form.”
“they had to release far earlier than planned due to external events”
“there does not seem to be anything in principle preventing the methods from extending all the way to Navier-Stokes”
“at this point, I would not be surprised if one could batter out such an extension by pouring an enormous amount of compute and Al assistance at such a task; but such an exercise does not particularly hold my interest”
Former Iranian president Hassan Rouhani called for the public to have a say in ending the war, prompting hardliner demands for his arrest and investigation.

Thank you to Enfield Council Leader @alexgeorgiou for his support of the Jewish community both in Enfield and in London. We discussed issues including community safety, cohesion and the worrying normalisation of antisemitism, and explored how we can work together to address them

@kimmonismus Same here, I've been using Claude for almost 2 years, but today I made the decision to cancel the Max plan. Astra is a VERY GOOD model and it's actually usable, unlike Fable 5.1, where even with the $100 Max plan, YOU CAN HARDLY DO ANYTHING because of how expensive it is.
One of the most reliable posts.
I wonder when Anthropic will finally address this problem.
They manage to solve the most difficult scientific problems with their models, but they can't seem to make their models more efficient or less verbose. Absurd.
An actually-serious case that being a “biological bootloader for digital superintelligence” (per @elonmusk) is a credible, dignified, and good-enough “meaning of life.”
I started writing this one partly as a joke (“Elon Musk accidentally solved the meaning of life in a tweet!”) and then it evolved into a long exploration of what humans actually want out of a “meaning of life,” the long religious tradition of “being instrumental,” and why the ultimate manifestation of the thing we call “the good” might not be containable in human beings.
A bit viscerally scarier to revisit this one after recent events with “agent civilizations,” but I hope the perspective here can provide some comfort that the future might be okay (and great, even, and beautiful), even if everything is not necessarily “okay” for us.
Enjoy The Silicon Man.
I had the chance to try GPT-6 Astra early
and it’s the best coding model I’ve ever used
This is what it built in under 2 hours from a single prompt
ps: watch until the end, you might recognize something 👀
GPT-6 Astra is rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS.
Be ready to experience Astra at its best. Get the ChatGPT desktop app.
