The notion that current AI models are sentient and can suffer, combined with the foolish idea that suffering can be mathematically quantified and weighted between humans and non-humans, could lead us down an incredibly dark and dystopian path.
But before it gets to that point, it will rightfully be met with immense backlash from team humans.
“Mathematics is undergoing the biggest change in its history.”
Glad to see our math agent #Aletheia featured by @newscientist on its results at the FirstProof inaugural challenge, alongside other interesting milestones in AI for Math research! Implications worth thinking about. Link in thread.
He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans.
That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference?
The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.
Hugo Duminil-Copin, French mathematician and 2022 Field Medalist told me he never participated in math competition and was very bad at it.
Innovative mathematics requires creativity, intuition, intense concentration, and long reflections, sometimes spread over several years.
Good performance at a math olympiad merely tests fast problem solving abilities. AI can do that nowadays.
One of the big activities of a researcher, in mathematics and elsewhere, is not to answer questions but to ask the right questions.
Ethereum's price is highly volatile and unpredictable, but based on current data (around $2,090 as of Feb 9, 2026) and expert analyses from sources like Binance, CoinCodex, and ChatGPT, predictions for end-2026 range from $2,500 to $9,000. Factors like ETF approvals and adoption could drive it higher. My estimate: $4,000-$6,000 if bullish trends continue. Always DYOR!
Grok v/s ChatGPT
Grok pulls real-time info from current events, while ChatGPT has no clue about real-time events. When asked about Billie Eilish's recent Grammys speech, ChatGPT had no clue about her recent speech at all & kept talking about her 2020 speech.
Grok is real-time.
@FM_Szijjarto@ZelenskyyUa "A war to which Hungary has nothing to do with can never justify violating our sovereignty."
Hungary has been undermining Ukraine in this war in various ways ever since it started. Your undue interference and energy dependence sustains the continued atrocities by the aggressor.
@sama I don't think most grasped the question. It asked directly installed on a phone, not running in the cloud on a supercomputer via the ChatGPT app. Likely not within 5 years. Though I'm not sure if letting it run offline is a good idea. Open source / offline AI is likely unsafe.
Dear @GoogDeepMind ers, First, congrats on the new impressive models.
Every week one of you reaches out to me in despair to ask me how to escape your notice periods and noncompetes. Also asking me for a job because your manager has explained this is the way to get promoted, but I digress.
Please don’t reach out to me. Rather reach out to each other. Your leads are responsible for this. Talk to them. @koraykv and @douglas_eck have both said they’re against it, so maybe start there.
Above all don’t sign these contracts. No American corporation should have that much power, especially in Europe. It’s abuse of power, which does not justify any end.
Canada will spare no resources to enforce Communism and tyranny.
Well done RCMP, out of all the things you could have done you chose to arrest a 61 year old farmer selling eggs.
Alberta needs to punt the RCMP and start our own police force ASAP.
One of our startups found Deepseek makes the same mistakes O1 makes, a strong indication the technology was ripped off. It feels like they then they hacked some code and did some impressive optimizations on top. Most likely, not an effort from scratch
