Chun(@satofishi):The history of human development is a history of continually being moved ourselves off center stage. At birth, every human baby believed they were the center of the universe. Then they discovered that Earth orbits the Sun. Later, they learn that there are countless other galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Now some argue that mathematics without human beings is meaningless. I can only say that humanity still lacks reverence for the vastness of the universe. If you still think so, ask yourself once more: how vast is the universe, really?

BREAKING: Terence Tao and 24 other Fields Medalists just signed a letter telling AI companies they're destroying mathematics >headlines: AI solves famous math problems >25 greatest mathematicians respond today >"we are witnessing a general threat to intellectual work" >ai labs are treating math problems like a benchmark you can brute force >“solutions are announced in a rush, leaving no time for a proper writeup and citing relevant previous work of others" >they're talking about openai >"this raises severe attribution and plagiarism questions" >they're definitely talking about openai >openai offered to put math professor name on navier-stokes proof >condition: abandon his coauthor bc he works at anthropic >"the most precious resources of our profession are students and ideas" >for the labs the most precious resource is GPUs A Severe Misalignment of AI in Mathematics
