It always needs hard thinking about which ones to include and which ones to leave out... both of those are great.

I think you will find 100£ a month doesn't buy very many tokens when you start asking for proofs...

Binocularity @binocularity.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

A good question to ask is who can afford to use "AI" for maths, it is not cheap and typically needs lots of repetitions (tokens) to find an answer. I don't think existing symbolic solvers put mathematicians out of a job and I don't expect "AI" will either.

Binocularity @binocularity.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

That's not going to pay the cloud bills though, how many people are working on math proofs? Validation is a key bottleneck even here.

Like pocket calculators, in specific ways this will be superhuman in its abilities. But maybe never in counting Rs. Where it is practically useful is yet to be seen, and so far the most promising areas are niche and yet to deliver ROI on the colossal investment.

I think the definition of "extremely powerful" needs more thought. If you mean statistical search engine that does a reasonable (but inherently inaccurate) job of predicting outputs based on inputs across a very wide field of pre-stored data then it is probably true.

Not entirely true. While the price is set internationally much is refined in the UK and Europe. A lot of UK Gas goes directly to UK needs. More geopolitically stable than Russia, USA or the Middle East. And saves transport risks and costs. Norway is a good ally but don't supply all UK needs

Binocularity @binocularity.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

The UK will need gas and oil from somewhere for some time. If not from the North Sea then it will need imports from less stable suppliers. Better to find positive reasons to support the transition, as it will be difficult, slow and expensive in the short term.

"Escaped"...... you can do better than this, was allowed or was directed by humans to work in a way that allowed hacking. "AI" doesn't make its own decisions to be allowed to do this without human agency in the loop. Why is the press so gullible to "AI" industry press releases?

It is a good word for describing winter here, it doesn't get properly cold. And sunny rainy days are indeed refreshing.

The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy. "But these eminent scientists say ..." Now we learn BP co-authored it. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...

How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global Policy

BP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.
