People started dragging shit out and hiding information. Look at the math controversy right now. Math isn't secret, the equations and stuff are all public knowledge. But people are crying that AI is being used. Dragging it out for careers and press tours. The whole point of the internet was to share research and people started gatekeeping for status and money. And it slowed everyone down.

When COVID happened everyone got together and put together a cure, pretty quickly and worked together. So no matter your views on COVID the response, containment and collaboration show what people can to as long as they aren't chasing fame.

They have zero chance of figuring it out because there's no objective, empirical test for it, which is why they have to resort to all kinds of consciousness denialism. Cope with it.

>What makes a religion is faith
Faith in a supernatural being with dogma and institutions to support the belief in that god.

If you have faith in a certain sport or brand of cars for instance, you are in a sports club or a car club, not a religion, it only becomes a religion when some supernatural being's egregore lore is being maintained by a human collective.

>Nothing is truly supernatural.
Immaterial beings or qualities that can't possibly fit into the natural physical order are supernatural unless you are conceding that gods are simply imaginary rather than supernatural which is why supernaturality doesn't actually exist given its just imaginary and not within the realm of real existence.

>God would not be supernatural to himself.
The whole point of god is that he transcends nature, supernatural is not in reference to oneself, but the to the natural world, if god or his miracles are beyond natural causes and consequence, god is supernatural.

>What is supernatural, unnatural, etc, is merely a point of view.
Not according to god who specifically tells job he is above nature.

>Magic exists, it’s just the chemistry within the brain.
The nonsensical stuff going on in your brain that doesn't conform to nature is called imagination, not magic.

Nope. A religion is just a cult fad. Taylor Swift is a cult leader running her own religion. All religions are cults.
>it only becomes a religion when some supernatural being's egregore lore is being maintained by a human collective.
Nope. You have Buddhists who don’t see the karmic cycle as unnatural. Buddha is natural. Hermetic alchemists (dabbling precursors to modern day scientists that inspired the image of the classic wizard) and natural philosophers into hermetic theory didn’t see the world as not natural.
>Immaterial beings or qualities that can't possibly fit into the natural physical order are supernatural
Nope. The supernatural is only super and natural because it currently supersedes our understanding of it, and there is going to be a natural background to its stranger foreground. The supernatural isn’t a literal affair. It’s a relative one.
> The whole point of god is that he transcends nature
You’re projecting on to God. God transcends our nature. He does not transcend his own. He is his own perfect physicist. By default he would be, as the one who orchestrated reality; no different from an alien who sees our existence as a simulation of a kind.
> Not according to god who specifically tells job he is above nature.
If a Christian waddled up to God and proudly told him that they took everything in the Bible literally, at face value, do you really think that God would be impressed?
> The nonsensical stuff going on in your brain that doesn't conform to nature is called imagination, not magic
Brain chemistry conforms to nature. Magic is literally just “wow”. That’s the core logic behind magic and miracles and wonder. It’s “supernatural” because you went “whoa”, or “ahhh-“.
>>
>>17070936
Relative to familiarity. It’s all based around exposure logic. What is magic to one is not going to be magic to another. Amazement is relative.

> To demonstrate the effect of this result we provide several examples of AI mistranslations of NL statements and proofs into Lean in practice, resulting in mismatches between NL proofs and their Lean ‘verifications’. These include OpenAI’s announced Navier-Stokes proof. In particular, we show that the formalised Lean proof does not correspond to the NL proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.
Has anyone on this board looked into OpenAI's proof? Or do we just trust them now?

Anon, you're not following. On one hand, you have an unverified natural language proof. On the other hand, you have mountains of humanly incomprehensible gibberish in Lean (effectively useless to a mathematician). Now it turns out there isn't necessarily any connection between the two. The reason """agentic AI""" needs proof checkers in the first place is to continually sanity-check its reasoning and keep it on track.

What OP's paper implies is that the LLM manages to find a way around this, where it does whatever it wants in Lean while lying in the CoT, meaning there's nothing to stop it from hallucinating a bunch in the NL "proof" so long as the parallel Lean proof checks out. Maybe the NL proofs are still correct, but why would they be? The LLM isn't even relying on their correctness to produce the result.

Effectively, you end up with AI slop and mountains of useless Lean no one can understand. Whether or not some of the NL proofs end up being correct, the approach as a whole is failing.
>>
>>17070999
I think we should start thinking of incomprehensible papers with Lean certs like strong numerical evidence. The level of inherent uncertainty is unacceptable to be anything more.

you need to find a good enough scanner, support media for the data, and some kind of guarantee you'll be reassembled at a later date. good luck.

It's a speech impediment he's had since childhood and after working with a speech therapist, it's not as bad as it used to be. That doesn't negate the reality that it is distracting and can be hard to understand, just gives some context. If you watch multiple videos, you do start to get accustomed to it. I do wonder if this is something where AI could actually be useful. It wouldn't have to be a complete replacement of his narration with an AI voice but rather an AI directed alteration of his narration to make it more neutral.

i need ur help with memorizing/learning hundreds of pages worth of content weekly (more like daily but ok)

idk if this is appropiate to post here but if im desperate. if i fail my parents are gonna deport me back home (nicht gut, hint: its libya).

A bus comes every 60 minutes. You make your way at a random time to the bus stop. There is only a 1/60 chance it arrives within the exact minute of you arriving to the bus stop. There is also a 1/60 chance it leaves just as you get there. If you did this every day, for say 100 days, you will hit an average wait time of 30 minutes.

The odds are we arrived at the bus stop 30 minutes after the last and before the next. Right in the middle where the most points along the distribution would be. So if we were going to find another civilisation, the odds are, as there would be the most at 30 mins, and the fact that the odds are we are at the 30 mins too, we should be finding them now.

However, we cannot be at the end of the timeline as we would see civilisations accumulated from the distant past, plus the random popping in and out of existence of other ones before they could advance as much as the oldest ones, which some would have started as near to the one minute mark as possible, meaning at the begining only civilisations just beginning could have existed, and as we haven't seen evidence of what could be called hyper advanced civilisations, we probably aren't even in the midpoint, but in the early stages.


I'm confusing myself with the "maths" if you could call it that. Statistically, we should be finding other civilisations, but the odds of us being at the end is far far lower than the beginning, though the odds should be even.

None of them are obsolete. Some directors like Christopher Nolan will never use AI generated shite in his works, and they will still wildly outperform all the tripe at the box office.
Mathematicians are still needed to validate the proofs.
In code that goes into fighter jets or operates apparatus used in radiotherapy for example, they will always have to be verified by humans because there is too much liability involved to leave it solely to AI.
There are going to be heaps of professions which survive this shit. Just a lot of people will have little to no use. Maybe they get UBI and can enjoy a life of freedom, or maybe they will be purged. Who cares either way.

What are gpt and the book solutions implying the integral equation for work is equal to? Aren't integrals always the entire area?

The engine makes energy into work going A to B. What area/shape of the graph is this? If you stop there, why would you think the work is only a fraction of the shape/curve? Stopping at B means never using the engine again which is dumb, so you want to move it back into its original state A. How much work must be done on the engine to get it back from B into A (negative work depending on how you think about it)? Again, what area/shape of the graph is this? Overall, how much work did the engine actually do and how efficient was it?

>>17068811
Oh hell yeah it would. There's definitely energy produced from friction, same as with a T Tauri star but get enough gas in a compact area, which is what you'd get around a black hole and you'd definitely get some fusion too. Probably star formation, a stellar nursery from hell but if any stars born in the accretion disk of a black hole are double stars one could get eaten and kick the other out into interstellar space at a pretty high velocity.
>>
>>17070833
Not true. Fusion isn't solely about velocity (temperature), it's about confinement (to overcome charge repulsion) and time (that proximity is long enough for quantum tunnelling to occur). Free particles, even if they managed to get to the required energies, don't meet those two criteria. In general high energy particles colliding don't fuse, they break apart.
