go fuck yourself @sama

claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman

technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness

to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease

this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!!

real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle

@thecoachchris_ The trick is that they (the govt) argue they need to be the ones to redistribute the income for the bottom 50%, when all they had to do was not do the taxation in the first place! If they redistribute, they take a (big) cut first…

@zagrebbi This is assuming that IQ isn’t itself impacted by epigenetics (the environment’s effect on the expression of specific genes) and that IQ can’t itself be improved with effort & hard work (which itself could be genetic). Lots of confounding variables could be at work here.

@bdguan @JordanSVIC based on your take here, it's clear you don't hang around enough risk-taking asians. they exist, but the ones that immigrate to america are more risk-averse due to legal immigration. you see plenty of risk-taking asians in china, singapore, japan, etc.

@daveydo2000 @alojoh @Tesla Except every other company uses devaluation in their pricing. It’s the reality of how money & inflation work. You don’t see Camry’s go less than $29k anymore so why should other manufacturers offer a $27k car? It’s the same reason you don’t see gas below $1/gallon anymore…

[E.H. @edhuang]

@RnaudBertrand No it isn’t. Economists have shown that it’s mostly due to rampant asymmetric information due to insider trading. The lack of fair play in the markets leads to lack of confidence on behalf of investors worldwide.

@cremieuxrecueil @BrianHatano They’ll create jobs in the country that implements the tariff because it subsidizes domestic production. But yes, net net it will destroy jobs globally (mostly jobs in foreign countries).

@theallinpod @Jason @chamath @DavidSacks @LHSummers @ezraklein @friedberg I felt that Larry was a little too biased towards the CHIPs Act, which is American taxpayers paying companies to invest in the US. Trump said it's smarter to tariff these companies because then companies (not taxpayers) pay to bring jobs back: https://t.co/YYPhqjo1vy. He's right!

@KirkegaardEmil It’s because the west stopped eating freshly prepared foods: https://t.co/w5GmerGGhb

Japan and Italy have fewer problems in this regard and thus reap the benefits

[E.H. @edhuang]

@cremieuxrecueil This is by design to force citizens to use the legislative branch to create new laws (which is more democratic because Congress is elected) instead of relying on the courts to do it

[E.H. @edhuang]

@SaysSimulation You’re straight up wrong, sorry. America is a country for immigrants built by immigrants. Real heartland Americans know this as their ancestors were immigrants. H1Bs need reform but are far less harmful than the millions of illegal immigrants.

@allenanalysis @MikeRunner14 My friend, Tesla is a $1T company. $3.2B in subsidies is a tiny droplet in the $550B+ in revenue that it’s generated since incorporation. The company will exceed $100B in revenue just this year. The subsidies are a small reason for the company’s success, not a primary reason.

@ezraklein It's called people learning to touch grass and trust what's actually in front of them in their daily lives instead of what's printed in the biased.

@NateSilver538 When will you address the fact that pollsters have repeatedly failed to account for the shy voter effect and start dumping pollsters that don’t adjust for it via the neighbor method? The Polymarket whale beat all of you except AtlasIntel: https://t.co/EpJ9vzZvQ2

[E.H. @edhuang]

@elonmusk No, thank YOU for opening the platform up to free speech!

[E.H. @edhuang]

@PeterSchiff Unless @elonmusk cuts $2T from the budget!

[E.H. @edhuang]

@ben_inabinet60 @AdamSinger 100% agree

[E.H. @edhuang]

@eyeslasho The supposedly “liberal” party that promoted equality and fairness is out here promoting classism based on a so called “intelligence” test that was originally created to help identify struggling kids and get them help early.

[E.H. @edhuang]

@eyeslasho Yes, and IQ is a great measure of the value one’s vote has right? We should only listen to people with high IQ because they never make mistakes right?

[E.H. @edhuang]

@Jason Mark Cuban has a disappointingly lower level of macroeconomics than I had thought. Glad Friedberg took him to town on that.
