Over the last few months, the mathematical capabilities of LLMs have improved dramatically, to the point that they can solve major outstanding problems in many fields of mathematics. However, the push by AI companies to solve mathematical problems as a benchmark is detrimental to the science of mathematics, and to the mathematical community. The goals of the AI companies and the goals of the mathematical community are severely misaligned. We see these as part of broader alignment issues impacting other scientific and creative professions, as well as the whole of society. more

This is not a problem exclusive to big tech. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely. The oligarchs who own energy and military companies have been committing crimes against humanity the entire time. The vast majority of billion dollar corporations display criminally sociopathic/psychopathic behaviors to both consumers and workers.

Extreme wealth inequality should not exist. Billionaires should not exist. No kings. No oligarchs. No plutocrats. No parasites. Nobody too big to fail. Nobody above the law.

Well, I was specifically addressing AI and the fuckheads who forcibly steamroll it over our lives.

But yeah, this is a systemic problem: the rich and powerful control societies (and not just capitalist societies, to be clear), and it is my personal belief that kind men don't become rich or powerful, because becoming rich or powerful implies making someone else poorer or taking away their agency.

So if you follow the logic to its simple conclusion, the ultra-rich and ultra-powerful only get there not by being merely unkind, but by being truly evil. And this has nothing to do with the particular field they happen to be involved in.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
