Seems like a way to make the careful work of Bastounis, Circelli and Hansen more difficult moving forward. Mathematics is a field where quality and intuition building matter; this flood of findings is not conducive to mathematics, only to the prep for an ipo. arxiv.org/abs/2610.08144

Navier-Stokes lost in translation: Why Lean verification of AI autoformalisation does not guarantee correct natural language proofs
Autoformalisation is increasingly used to verify mathematical texts, including those generated by AI, as in OpenAI's announced proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. In this pro...

This data on self-censorship among U.S. academic scientists and engineers -- not even humanities people, this is STEM -- is so disturbing. theconversation.com/self-censors...
How are scientists adjusting the way they work during the Trump administration?

it has traditionally been my understanding that academic freedom applies in so far as you are putting forth a rigorous defence of your ideas in dialogue with the existing literature that surrounds that topic. If the notion of academic freedom is simply that acquiring a PhD grants you the ability to

while its true that the animal agriculture industry as a whole is an outsized consumer of water and contributor of GHGs, i dont think adding another source of accelerating increased power and water consumption is a great idea.

Math has a lot of social meta-commentary about intelligence tied up in it. Specifically a lot of socially ingrained narratives about the notion that only the gifted can grasp it and that you either immediately get it or you wont ever. with those gifted often fitting an image of a white male.

I’m always looking for a reason to hate on Virgil’s cohost, but like did any of you actually watch the interview. I did, she was discussing how AOCs poor voting record on the genocide in Palestine reflects on her as candidate in comparison to Tucker’s much more publically anti-genocide persona.

This was actually a really emotionally validating interview to watch. A frequent point of discussion I have with colleagues is how we systematically discourage students from wanting to pursue and investigate the big questions. And the rigour that one is held to when they try can be soul-crushing.

It‘s #horrorpostertime! Post one of your favourite horror movies from (1989). VK is barely a horror movie but I love it so much. Yelling out “I’m a vampire” over and over while drunk is always a classic.

We’re led by the very worst of us—and I don’t just mean Trump, who’s only an appropriate figurehead for his class and their narcissism, bloodlust and poisonous, nihilistic ideology. Far from being a democracy or meritocracy, our system rewards psychopathy with world-ending power.

Trump: "A whole civilization will die tonight....

Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump
(@reaDonaldTrump):
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

I think it might have more to do with critical functions of a microblogging site (like fullscreen video viewing) being nowhere in sight, while weird AI driven functions seem to be the priorities of the development team, and less about the evil anti-bedtime leftists.

Most academics have been sold an individualist ego-trip in the package of a sense of discovery. Discovery isn’t just about the uncovering of a new fact or the construction of a new model, it is also about the social/political element of getting that knowledge reflected out in the world.
