As they say, if you don't pay a price for your values every now and then, they're not values. They're just sparkling opinions.

instead of a deluge of slop papers credited to some "internal model", only some of which correspond to lean proofs, what openai should be publishing are papers, credited to the researchers involved, detailing the techniques by which they built and operated the system that produced these lean proofs

Unironically yes but in this case chasing the thing is in fact more valuable than the thing because the thing is mostly useless but the chase of the thing develops many very transferable skills.

Not too complicated but I’m making probabilistic blues backing tracks to improvise over on my flute, which I had in mind for the longest time but never found the chance before now (cause now it was pretty trivial).

Years ago my partner and I were arguing badly and had cried a lot, which was visible. We had to buy some stuff, awkwardly, in the market and the cashier noticed our tear-filled eyes and gave each of us a lollipop (we are kids sort of, 18 or 17). We were so moved by the gesture that we quit arguing.

I’m always surprised that these chord charts don’t have an easy way to change to functional notation. Perhaps it’s not that easy because it requires identifying a tonality? (and occasional modulations).

Are you sure replying to this is more valuable than churning butter? Genuine question. I personally think one is alienating and addictive and the other is contemplative and produces a deeper relationship with and understanding of things you put into your body.

Yea I much prefer to give all my money to Nestle and distribute less of it (or none at all) into my local community, and this way I also get to talk to less people and relate less with the people I share my neighborhood with.

What’s positive about it? I just see a new paid dependency as part of the workflow. (And a submission to a data harvesting leviathan capturing ALL your work). (I’m also totally deskilled in this regard and many others, i’m really reprimanding myself here).

That is seriously really good. She is unironically very talented. Obviously it’s a funny “shitposty” kinda painting but it has such a clear and dense “mood”. It’s hard to make art that really carries a feeling (comedic or not).

Mathematics are very spiritual for many of us, and having an AI company solve millennium problems (and in particular disincentivize humans from spending time thinking deeply about mathematics) feels like a huge loss for humanity. It sucks the holiness right out of an ancient and profound discipline.

Do you think that you yourself will be completely replaced by agents soon? Or what do you contribute that they can’t? Genuine question because I think you’re a kind and smart guy in a interesting position in industry and I really want your thoughts on this.

As a mathematician, I can’t avoid feeling very very very sad about getting good at math. Doing math by hand was such a religious experience that it will really be a huge loss if we lose incentives to have humans think deeply about math.

My dad had a doctor interpret some blood work he had ordered, and barely paid ANY attention to what the doctor was saying. He later explained that ChatGPT was going to read the tests better so who cares what the doctor thinks?
