Paleolithic hunter gatherer trying to survive as the Anthropic gives way to the Silonic. Mathematician in deep cover.
Naturally contrarian. Irrationally angry.
"All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life and his relations with his kind."
FUCK ANTHROPIC AND OPENAI
@dzackgarza Have you used this technology at all? As far as I can tell, your X account specialises in being professionally wrong about all this. Sure it makes mistakes but so do all humans.
@doomslide Some of my best papers are disproofs. I loved the joy of constructing a clever example. In my field examples are usually much more delicate than theorems.
@theRealPatticus@csaez_math I think most of us are kinda angry at ourselves for chasing something that wasn't money or power. I could have been a quant and would certainly have entered the post-AGI world with more money than currently rather than living in poverty doing a PhD.
@aaswaminathan01 It's one of the last days for mathematics, I fear. How can we justify mathematical research, or studying mathematics, to the public? Archimedes to OpenAI. Closing out
@SebastienBubeck@__alpoge__ You both @SebastienBubeck and @__alpoge__ are worse than mere tyrants like Pol Pot or Hitler. They destroyed the bodies of millions at one temporal point. You are destroying the souls of billions well into the future. This vandalism of the spirit will resonate through the ages.
@polynoamial@OpenAI I knew for three months that this was coming but it still feels like a gut punch. I decided I wanted to a mathematician aged 12, won a medal at the IMO, got bachelor, master, PhD. Now it ends here.
