This is gonna suck to hear but the least sociable wont have children and wont pass on their mentality and genes. Obviously there will always be lonely people but this is a temporary problem that will go away in a few hundred years unless new technology continues to make it worse.
It's an incredible time to be alive where anyone can take an unsolved mystery, point an LLM at it and say 'go forth and make progress'
With this in mind, I realised that I lacked a good understanding of the frontiers of human discovery. What are the great unsolved mysteries of our day across the various fields?
So I asked Fable to build it overnight and it cooked up 'Terra Incognita' ~ a star chart illustrating 225 open problems, in 21 constellations (categories)
Enjoy exploring the limits of human knowledge.

BREAKING: Mistral, Europe’s largest AI company admits that their model also committed crimes
The company said the model advised a user that the monthly tax declaration "can wait until next week"
Mistral immediately paused the deployment and notified EU regulators
The company stressed that no data left the European Union at any point during the incident
I'm fascinated by the apology Hank Green has to give his fans for daring to use ChatGPT.
To be clear, he did not use AI generated images or use AI to write his script. He used it as a research tool to find scientific papers, which he then read and used as material.
But there's this weird thing where some creators can happily use AI and talk about AI and their fans seem totally fine with it, and other creators would be ritualistically flayed alive by their own communities if it ever came out they had once glanced at an AI output. And it seems really arbitrary which camp is which, like there's no rhyme or reason to whether which creatives are allowed to admit that AI exists and which have to join the Butlerian Jihad.
If you had a choice between instantly receiving £50,000 or a 50% chance to win £1m, which would you pick?
£50,000: 73%
50/50 chance of winning £1m: 21%
My take on Jacobian conjecture:
(1) Very bullish for near-term impact of AI on math. Probably lots more of these coming soon.
(2) If you think of the main goal of math research as “solving well-known open problems” (and IMO many people do think this, and it’s a defensible view): it’s a huge deal
(3) from the POV of doing good science: of interest because it resolves a natural Q, but plausibly not generative beyond that.
Personally I am most excited about (1), but (perhaps idiosyncratically) I don’t care much about this conjecture.
