This past week, OpenAI dumped a staggering trove of answers to elusive math problems solved by its internal artificial intelligence models – the mathematics world isn’t happy about it. “What are they trying to achieve? I don’t know. They’re just destroying early-career mathematicians with a PR stunt,” says NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster. Buckmaster and his collaborator Levent Alpöge had made significant progress on solving an historic math equation before OpenAI’s model beat them to it. They’ve “destroyed the whole incentive system for science and mathematics.”
Jensen said that people don’t need to be able to count, they just need to be able to shovel coal, and be turned into soylent green.
At least Soylent Green was predicated on the overpopulation scare of the past half century, now with humanity facing population collapse by the next half century the hoarding of wealth from the dwindling population is even more egregious.
Maybe we just need to make wealth redundant?
