    An actually interesting use of artificial intelligence being able to accomplish something, when put in the hands of expert mathematicians. Definitely a lot of coaxing it back to doing the task correctly but it is pretty cool that it can solve problems (even if they are math nerd ones) in a way that are independently verifiable.

      In the hands of experts these are definitely useful. I’ve always felt that.

      Ai should be used to augment humans, not replace them.

      Unfortunately we have idiots making decisions looking at the sycophant BS machine without knowing what the job actually does

          You can read Marx’s chapters on technology in Capital volume 1, and what he describes from his own time about how tech is developed and for whose benefit and specifically how it has to exploit workers in order to be useful to capital; it matches so closely with the development of AI that we are seeing.

          Exactly, when you dig into all the complaints people have about this tech, they’re ultimately just symptoms of the underlying capitalist relations.

          Yes.

          I’d feel a lot less annoyed at my code being used to train the AI (without my consent) if the AI’s benefits weren’t funnelled into private pockets.

          I’d feel a lot less annoyed at AI if it wasn’t constantly use to replace jobs and then fail at it. Actually, AI isn’t replacing jobs, it’s being used as an excuse to do layoffs while pretending your company is being innovative, so as not to scare off investors.

          Without a profit motive there wouldn’t be ChatGPT Health, which is just faking medical skills while being wrong as often as a coin toss, in exchange for money. If I did that I’d be sued for negligence and/or fraud.

        The problem is always techbros. Large Language Models, Deep Learning, these kinds of things are potentially valuable when put to work in the right arena.

        A techbro will never put them in the right arena. It’s always a false promise built on flimsy reputational credit.

      There’s no actual “AI” involved here. Mathematicians have been using computational methods since they invented the computer. These results are just a natural continuation of decades of work.

      But no. There’s no Johnny 5 inside this program.

        Well just like a MATLAB plotting program “draws” lines and curves and stuff, Claude is a programs that puts together various reasonings based on the mathematician’s input.

    Who are these people?

    Edit: fuck me for not knowing the names of your precious slop generators apparently
