Agree with @EricWeinstein that it was an epic mistake—which would have been unthinkable even a few years ago—to exclude scientists from planning our future.
Prediction: much of the power at that table will be achieved by 'rigging' of virtual clones and amalgams of actual scientists and inventors inside the AI.
Those people are not at that table. No one is really talking to them. Or compensating them. Or even trying to figure out who they are. It's like how AI companies buy rare books to cut them up to scan them.
And the lead we had over the rest of the world 40 years ago will be gotten back partially by stealing the souls of the scientists whose careers we mysteriously destroyed after the cold war, and putting them, virtually, back inside AI companies.
It's stunning how complete the shut out of researchers is. Will no one say anything about this?? I wonder...

Honestly, I can't stop thinking about this essay.
With thanks to @ericweinstein for introducing me.
In this new ND Podcast, @ConceptualJames explains how to distinguish which "screamers" are vital truth-tellers and which are cranks and fools. Check it out!

To be clear, the OpenAI result is far from the "most important day in the history of mathematics" or similarly hyperbolic statements.
However, it is concrete evidence that the rate of progress is steep, and we may not be so far away from such a day.

Are the terrible narratives in academia over? Are the smart and eccentric people reinstated?
Unfortunately not.
Great talk be @ericweinstein

Neuralink has solved through-dura electrode implantation!
This is a very big deal, as it greatly improves the safety and ease of interfacing with the brain.

💬Eric Weinstein: "Estamos aferrándonos a una idea ingenua del capitalismo, donde 5 personas van a agarrar toda la humanidad y decidan que es suya. ¡Defiéndanse! Sam Altman o Elon Musk no son dueños de esto. Y si esto rompe el capitalismo, que se rompa".

gracias por la enorme cantidad de mensajes y comentarios que estoy recibiendo sobre la entrevista con @ericweinstein. fue una conversación realmente apasionante de hacer: más de 90 minutos donde no dejamos tema sin tocar, desde peter thiel, milei e inteligencia artificial hasta inflación, física, trabajo, dignidad y el futuro de nuestra especie.
la generosidad intelectual de eric fue asombrosa y le estoy profundamente agradecido por el tiempo, la apertura y la honestidad. si esta charla ayuda aunque sea un poco a que más argentinos 🇦🇷 entiendan mejor de qué va todo esto y los debates que vienen, entonces valió completamente la pena.
acá 👇 está completa para que la disfruten durante el fin de semana o en algún largo viaje. entrevistas como esta ocurren pocas veces en la vida y creo que su escucha atenta vale mucho la pena. afortunadamente así lo reflejan muchos de los comentarios hechos con buena fe.

Thank you, @ericweinstein! 🙏🤩 Well-said, and what a great question at the end!
My take: it all starts with us, humans. We create new technology, we "program the machines" so to speak. We set the stage. If we can cultivate this sixth sense of our deeper connection to each other (which is what my video is about!) - then new technological advances will likely bring us even closer together. That's my hope. 😃
Color does not exist in physics. Color is a co-creation between the wavelength of a photon and Brain that tags visual images for internal representation inside the mind.
In a certain sense, mathematics is such a co-creation between the external logical order of pure systems and our human tagging of their representations within our minds.
@edfrenkel has been at the forefront of wanting to embrace math as inextricably human. Poetic, elegant, erotic, violent, passionate, overpowering, mystical and transcendent.
Russians. They’re like that. 🤷♀️
Well, right now that is actually THE question. What happens when the machines become full partners or even take over mathematics? This is the hardest thing the human mind knows how to do that really means something. And we have had it all to ourselves among species.
One could now be forgiven for asking: will the first great computer theories of mathematics humanize the
Machines the way it humanizes us…and brings us together across language and cultures. Or will the beauty be pearls cast before soulless robots.
Let us not forget as we tetter on the brink of all out war, that we in the U.S. are fighting both against and for representatives of the civilizations that gave us Al-gebra, and Al-gorithms.
Hope. For the best.

The idea that “AI safety” could be based on secrecy and control has been fatally falsified.

If not previously known, only because what Eric Weinstein has been saying for years has been ignored.
Newly released files from the investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reveal that his ties to the scientific community were deeper than previously known.

New paper out today, proving a novel theorem in algebraic geometry with an internal math-specialized version of Gemini. This was a collaboration between @GoogleDeepMind (Professor Freddie Manners and @GSalafatinos, hosted by the Blueshift team) and Professors Jim Bryan, Balazs Elek, and Ravi Vakil.

Had a fascinating conversation with Terry Tao on the future of mathematics.
So excited for the new year.
🚨 FULL CONVERSATION
Fields medalist Terry Tao sits down with Math Inc's @jessemhan and @jdlichtman for a conversation on the future of mathematics.
"I got convinced that this was the future of mathematics [...]
It's a different style of writing proofs that actually is in some ways easier to read—harder to check by humans, but you see more clearly the inputs and outputs of a proof, which traditional writing often conceals [...]
I think the definition of a mathematician will broaden."

For those who prefer written posts to live conversations, I have posted a 3-part series at the infineo blog on my recent interview of @ericweinstein on applying gauge theory to economics. (Links below.)

I went to the October 7 massacre site in Israel. I posted a video of it online. Hundreds of Indian accounts that had never set foot in Israel or Palestine attacked me. In this clip, @ericweinstein reflects on the horrors of Pahalgam and 26/11. His synagogue is in Mumbai. The message is simple: Indians and Jews need to unite against radical Islamic terrorism. Else, history will keep repeating itself.

I know the holidays can be very difficult for people.
In the spirit of @ericweinstein (for whom i’m very grateful):
If you need to chat for a few minutes, I will make myself available. Not as a professional, just as a regular person.
My DMs are open.

.@ericweinstein's hypothesis that Epstein was an agent is proving true. Good times, y'all
This is INSANE 🚨 Mike Benz does through Jeffrey Epstein documents
“Jeffrey Epstein negotiated the f*cking contract to move the CIA’s proprietary airliner, Southern Air Transport, which was busted running drugs and guns during Iran-Contra”
“He (Epstein) personally was the authorized signatory on the deal with Southern Air Transport to move it to a military base in Columbus, Ohio, to service the Limited
Hey, any of you guys got any bright ideas about how you would go about in 1994, convincing the Central Intelligence Agency to move its proprietary CIA airline used for covert operations, based in Miami, to f*cking up and move its entire operation to f*cking Columbus, Ohio, just to service your personal company instead of the CIA?
What do you think he cold called the CIA? You think he just schmoozed the CIA? Or is it because he was handling Khashoggi’s money during Iran-Contra that purchased the guns that Southern Air Transport a decade earlier was moving?
Adnan Khashoggi is the notorious Saudi Arabian billionaire arms dealer and international middleman. He was one of the world’s most prominent arms brokers in the 1970s and 1980s, facilitating massive deals between Western defense contractors (like Lockheed and Northrop) and the Saudi government, earning billions in commissions.
Jeffrey Epstein was so deeply involved in our government and international affairs
