These are Mooney images, research tools made by turning contrast up on images until they’re nearly unrecognizable. Recently, researchers used these images to study what happens in the brain during a sudden realization. Can you guess what they are? https://t.co/cS4eq0vhnu
@nntaleb@DouadyPrimers He did prove its connected, but locally connected is strictly harder. The MLC ("Mandelbrot Locally Connected") conjecture is still wide open and much work on complex dynamics has been done over the past several years on it. It's generally believed to be true, I think
10 scrolls on the for you timeline will immediately give you thousands of pictures of women. Fixed locus around which the entire X discourse revolves. Women before, women after and women now. Tiresome

@phone3301 It tried a bunch of metric geometry questions from Larry Guth & it failed at every single one of them.
Why do you think it's not a good benchmark?
@phone3301 I agree. I must say I dont know enough about the theory of mind to make a judgement either way
All I can say is that even the best work by LLMs so far (even the one thats going on Annals) seem curiously cannibalized from existing ideas in a way that best human mathematics doesnt
Qualitatively as misplaced as terror as death. Once you're dead you don't exist: all misgivings about what happens in death voids. Likewise, once you're Indian, you relinquish the capacity to perceive your relative ethnic disadvantages. You look at the clock. You go back to sleep
