I am sadly not in charge of reality. Just sitting here lamenting it.

You think I should lie because the truth makes you uncomfortable?


But it was close, proving once again that around the world about half the population is literally insane. How braindead must they be to vote for Bolsonaro or Trump. I’m telling you, most humans are barely more than rabid animals.


Can’t see this without making a shitbook account. If you have a screenshot…

They’re busy bees. Very busy for a dead polluted shithole without a single river.

I provided a link. Are you… not able to read?
What do you think I mean by “valuable” and why would that equal “getting a check”?
Fucking bizarre. This might be the dumbest conversation I’ve participated in this week.


I’m actually paraphrasing Terence Tao and some of the top mathematicians on the planet. These discussions have been prevalent across the maths community.
It’s not common knowledge, but mathematical proofs aren’t intrinsically valuable (in any way whatsoever) outside of the mathematical community capable of deriving them. They are valuable because they create a mathematical community, not the other way around.
Scientific discoveries are different. Scientific insights without scientists are still useful to society. Not so mathematical proofs without mathematicians.


Solving math proofs with AI is like doing art with AI. Pointless. In fact, it is detrimental to the discipline as a whole, because doing so means people will stop sharing work and insights with each other, which has never been the case before (at least it’s not the norm).
As discussed on MathandAI.org and elsewhere, top mathematicians “disseminate ideas in talks, private discussions and careful writeups, connecting them to the previous ideas of others. These processes invariably take time and are based on human interaction.”
AI is undermining this process, as people naturally become less willing to discuss ideas that can easily be stolen.


Are you actually asking? It’s indicative of shifting cultural norms.


I don’t understand why you hate this survey. Attitudes about language are incredibly interesting. The fact that most Americans like the ACA but hate Obamacare is useful information.

The results don’t mean anything because they asked the participants to apply their own understanding to the terms. What the fuck does that do?
It literally tells us their own perception of the terms. The information you’re demanding is different, and there’s an obvious and interesting discrepancy between the favorability of certain policies versus the language used to describe them.
The purpose of polls is not to educate people. It’s to figure out what they think in their dumb misinformed animal minds.
