@zaurs Bir dəfə iş yoldaşımla müzakirə edirdik, qərara gəldik ki sinus aristokratdı ancaq qırnızı şərab içir. Kosinus isə xaşa gedir, çayxanada domino/nərd vurur
What will happen when (if) AI proves Riemann’s Hypothesis?
If such a thing happens, all of the Internet will be, suddenly and rightfully, really interested in the fact that AI has proved arguably the most famous open problem in mathematics. But almost no one will be interested in the result per se. That is the effect AI has in things. In the subsequent days (weeks, months or even years) it will be mathematicians who, slowly and with interest, will unfold the proof and see if it really adds valuable knowledge to mathematics or not. That is caring about progress in maths.
It is important to make that distinction.
Few weeks ago there was a sudden explosion of non-mathematicians (seemingly) proving unsolved problems in maths. Most of them were not interested in the results at all, most of them openly did not even know about the existence of those open problems minutes before asking the chat for a proof, they were only interested in the fact that they could access to a tool that gave them answers (whichever they were). That was nothing but a shadow of what it is to do a breakthrough in mathematics and, as of today, those results have had no impact on mathematics at all. They have had only a stationary effect on the public interest of AI (which is now gone). This is because those users lacked objective. One needs understanding in maths to make progress, otherwise such progress is vacuous. In other words: meaningless (though not worthless). A bunch of proven open problems are useless if they do not come with an objective. Most breakthroughs in mathematics come as straightforward corollaries of bigger results (often whole theories) developed slowly over time. Step by step. By people that profoundly care about them. That cannot come from a prompt. It can help, but with no human behind that adds interest to the equation, it simply does not happen.
Riemann's Hypothesis is a very profound problem in maths. Its proof will undoubtedly be a milestone, whether done by a human or a machine. Andrew Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem bringing huge advances to multiple fields in mathematics and he spent 7 years on it. A right proof of Riemann's Hypothesis will be valid no matter the value it adds. But there are proofs and proofs. AI can hardly create new maths (yet, maybe). Some humans can. A proof that adds value to mathematics is, as obvious as it may seem, more valuable than other that does not.
After all, reality seems to be nothing but a mean for AI: art, literature (text), mathematics... creative fields are tools for AI companies in the same way AI is a tool for some humans who relegate their thinking abilities to a machine. Precisely that what makes us human beings is now being relegated to machines that imitate such feature.
At the end AI-enthusiasts are people; and are excited for a tool that seemingly allows them to access a plane of reality that they could not access by themselves. Nothing but a shadow.
LINUX WILL NEVER BE MAINSTREAM
Regular people don't have time to invest in it. Linux is a hobbyist software for advanced PC users who often have specific needs.
Some of those needs are living in your mom's basement.
I kid! Sorry. Linux is fun, but it'll never be normalized.
@arnaucco@ColRFX@rfleury@Dexerto Because of valve policy game cannot be cheaper on other platform. If steam is a better storefront they have to allow devs charge more than other markets, so the users of storefront bears the cost of using better product
@arnaucco@ColRFX@rfleury@Dexerto What @ColRFX explains is exactly what abusing monopoly is. Gamers are all on steam (because yes, they have way better storefront), so dev has to put their game there and price it with 30% cut of steam
@LukeHTatum@LookAtMyMeat1 They should still be scrutinised when abusing that power, which they do against developers by not allowing them to sell their games cheaper on other markets that take less of a cut.
@LukeHTatum@LookAtMyMeat1 Dude, Valve is a monopoly. They earned their place by delivering an actually good product that people want to use. Like what google used to be.
Palworld developer Pocketpair requires game designer candidates to provide screenshots of their Steam libraries and playtime according to CEO Takuro Mizobe
“At Pocketpair we ask game designer candidates to submit screenshots of their playtime history on Steam. In fact, if you don’t play games on Steam at all, you won’t make it past the resume screening stage.”
