@phillyniks: From the Oct 13 @The New York Times Daily episode: “Artificial intelligence has gone from struggling with basic arithmetic to helping solve some of mathematics’ most famous open problems — and the field is reckoning with what that means. Steven Strogatz, a professor of mathematics at Cornell University, describes the excitement and grief of watching A.I. take on work that gives people a sense of purpose — and asks what could be lost if machines deliver answers without the human struggle, insight and understanding that make solving problems meaningful. Guest: Steven Strogatz, a professor of mathematics at Cornell University who writes for The New York Times about the future of research.” #AI #mathematics #nytimes #airevolution #bernie
when AI cures cancer are we gonna lament the cancer researchers?

I don’t get the excitement. AI can lie to you whenever it wants. Why are we trusting it to do so much. 😑

Most jobs will get hit quietly over time. But there will be moments for most people when the writing on the wall becomes visible. The grief of seeing lifelong acquired skills getting replaced will be universal 😔

The grief comes from knowing that fewer people will learn how to do advanced math. Ai could solve all kinds of real problems but it’s going to be used to enslave humanity.

It is sad. I find that identifying a problem and thinking about solutions one of the joys of my life. I’m not a mathematician, but I do work in a problem, solution, industry, and deep thinking about something is what I enjoy doing most

This is great because academia is compromised. Research and tech has always suffered under the gatekeepers. Now the rabbit is the hunter. They use lack of credentials to. ignore you but now geniues is genius human or not
