Exactly, I was glad to see these withdrawals, its a natural part of a healthy ecosystem of scientific review, hypothesis, claim, test, refute, extend, withdraw, its the heart of science.
IMO If you take out all the stupid human aspects mostly related to fear, egos, etc, we should brace the imperfect and helpful tools, whatever they are, improve them so they are as easy as possible to review, and keep that core scientific discovery loop going
Exactly what Im talking about! This is a perfect example.
In this case we are talking about using AI to accelerate human progress in mathematics and scientific discovery, and rather than stay on topic, a human comes in with a wealth inequality complaint.
The distributions of the gains of AI advancement is a separate issue, we definitely shouldn't hold up progress on the frontier of human knowledge because of wealth inequality. Its an important issue that needs to be solved, but pausing or slowing progress at the edge of human discovery because of wealth inequality concerns is utterly insane.
For people like you there's no such X in "we definitely shouldn't hold up progress on the frontier of human knowledge because of X" that would stop you, at that is what the actual utter insanity is.
