Happy to hear that yes! I hope more people do learn about math from this !

If you had halfway to one of these papers you would be anyhow be in the top echelons of math phds so probably you have less to worry than most!

So they can try to advance it even more

I'm not sure a superintelligence needs "funds" to take over the world.

For destroying it for sure not.

But if its really smart, it would already created a company and a legal entity and simultes a real company and just gets richer and takes over the economy without anyone being aware of it.


I'm sorry, but what?

If you appreciate beauty and don't care about competing then these releases are purely good. Because you are not competing, so you aren't hurt by speed. And you are appreciating so you can appreciate more stuff.

sorry if I am misunderstanding (probably I am)


I agree with you

I think now it's a good time for people to work on the Riemann hypothesis. There are actually a lot of ideas, no one knows if any of them goes anywhere--but I don't think it's completely impossible to make progress especially with new tools haha.

You're not alone, even among mathematicians.

I do think something does happen/change when we reach superintelligence.

Maybe 4 year olds already have the brain power to learn to drive if they so desired.


Almost certainly, there are 4 year olds who ride small motorbikes etc. I think the main problem is that they can't really be held accountable if they have an accident.



They also have really poor judgement. A 4yo will find out how high you can get the car airborne.


Animals are born walking. Humans are somewhat deficient and need more training postpartum.


I think I'm mostly on your side (also I believed early it would get here), but what does it mean to "solve the field"? I'm pretty much as bullish as you get on AI but I'm sure I can come up with questions AI cannot solve. I think the space of problems in math is so large and the distribution of proof lengths so heavy-tailed, there's probably no way without dyson-sphereing the sun to solve all easy to state problems.
