Yes, I know? I never said it wasn’t badly written? All I’m saying is that it is not, as the OP claims, a predictable consequence of AI creating shims between different literatures, each with their own notation. It’s something else.

But I do not think these results can be viewed as such at all. They are "alien" thru and thru. One mathematician described one of the papers as if "written by someone on psychedelics". No, all of this is stupefyingly surprising, we are facing nothing less than a brave new world of mathematics.

New preprint with Julian Garcia & @tobyhandfield.bsky.social 🧵 We tested 1,048,576 moral systems of indirect reciprocity, each pairing a strategy (how to act) with a social norm (how to judge others), across all prisoner's dilemmas, snowdrift games and stag hunts. arxiv.org/abs/2610.03832 1/6
Model diagram. Two players, each with a good or bad reputation, play a two-by-two game with payoffs R, S, T and P. Each player cooperates or defects according to a strategy table that reads both players' reputations. An observer watches and assigns both players new reputations according to a social norm table that reads both reputations and both actions. Side panels show example strategies (ALLC, ALLD, DISC, CDISC, ODISC, PDISC) and norms (Scoring, Stern Judging, Simple Standing, Standing, Consistent Standing, Generous Standing) as colored grids.

You do not, under any circumstances, have to give it to Adobe. Especially when it comes to copyright law. Fuck Adobe and fuck copyright law and fuck anyone defending them.

turns out we all are still primates after all. we thought we were oh so smart, but it’s good to have some humility. i guess we’ll have to adapt to live downstream of the mathematical frontiers

He is a eugenicist though. To me, that’s disqualifying. Also, his entire rationalist project has always seemed misguided to me. A striving for a metaphysical mirage. The truth is that rationality, even if definable, is relative to culture, era, etc.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent
