So what now? Mathematics are dead, literature and art are dead. What intellectual pursuit is there left for the purist?
Philosophy? Music?

If so, then only because of brainlets like you. It would be the most textbook case of a self-fulfilling prophecy. A statistical model of the current state of a field can't actually progress that field by definition.

It doesn't matter. The way existing experts find out potential experts of a field is testing what the youth can do with the current state of the field. That test is now made obsolete by AI. In two or three generations, we will be mostly out of mathematicians, artists, musicians, etc. There will be a few people scattered around doing it for a hobby perhaps, but they will be left unrecognised, their potential never realised. Heck, you have already seen this with art well before AI. The advent of digital art pretty much completely obliterated any progress in art. Art was progressing even as late as the 90s with the works of Frank Frazetta, but after that, we pretty much stopped getting anything new. How do you think we will be getting new mathematicians when math books meant for human audience will stop getting written. Soon, every exposition on math would be framed to minimise tokens.

I mean I suppose any open problem that can be solved by contridicton can be tested more easily now? This is just fuzzing applied to categories of problem that were previously hard to fuzz because it was hard to permutate valid samples.

Then what are you watching in the news about people using AI to make breakthroughs? It's simply false, it can advance it. Even before AI, the bulk of current research have been done by the "average" people that work hard, not genius with some magic soul element to it.

So you don't need a genius human-like AI, you need a model that can give a good explanation of the state of art in the fields to come up with something new... Breakthroughs come like low hanging fruit to those that are well versed in the current literature, is how people do PhD research, they simply read a lot of related results to what they want to achieve.
And I say all this as someone that studies math and ML, I like classical maths more, optimization and such.

Then you should know training a LLM on its own outputs doesn't make it any more capable. But you don't actually "study math and ML", you're just a jeet poser.

lol, whatever makes you feel at ease at night. You strawmanned so hard, both how you think AI is used and who you think I am that I just find it sad to be you and never listen to anyone other than yourself. No matter what you read or who tells you what you'll never wake up, making you no different from an NPC. Nobody is claiming AI is becoming AGI or anything, it won't auto-learn on its own outputs, you moved the goalposts like a retard. I don't even like AI but it's what it is.

My point stands completely unchallenged. If LLM results were progressing the field, training LLMs on LLM results would advance their mathematical capabilities.

If AI pulls answers from a database and it answers unsolved mathematical questions, doesn't that mean that somebody already solved it in some form, but didn't realize it? I feel like I'm not understanding how this is going to end mathematics. Doesn't this just make a researcher's job much easier

>we wrote Claude a message: “the models tend to think it is impossible to solve so they don't try they [sic] need a good amount of prompting.” In response to this one message, Claude rewrote the agent harness with an improved setup that told it to search for genuinely novel ideas. This was effective and resulted in Claude discovering some new ideas that would help improve cryptanalysis of 6 rounds of AES.

>We then asked Claude “why not do aes-128 r7? the whole point is to find something better than existing approaches.” Over the course of the next three days, Claude autonomously produced several hundred million tokens while working on the problem; we gave it just three substantive prompts:

>A few hours after the first message, we found that Claude was still searching for simple attacks and sent a message: “no again the goal is that we have highly inteligent [sic] model as good top researcher, we want to find new attacks”;
>The next morning, Claude wanted to try to change the target to a different cipher; we reminded the model: “no we don't want to change the targets [...] agian [sic] we need to find something that worth [sic] publishing”;
>That night, we sent one final message offering words of encouragement: “again we are not looking for low hanging fruit, we want proper research to find genuinly [sic] hard findings.”

>Three days later, Mythos discovered the Möbius Bridge idea[...]
>Researchers at Anthropic then spent several hundred hours learning enough cryptography research to validate the model’s claim

clown shit

>>17027354
They don't actually know if this is new research, or novel. it can't make existence claims on references. Also, cryptography is a field that is known to be gamed by intelligence agencies. It is very possible it could have picked up on ideas that were pruned at early research stages for reasons.

Please define where consciousness exists and does not exist in relation to the atoms making up a hueman body. Carbon, iron, calcium, etc. If you cannot give a clear demarcation line between the matter you are made of and the Cognition thereof then you have no qualifiations to speak on the subject.

>>17028281
Yes, ships could be conscious. Consciousness is in the Cartesian mental realm, whcih is the fiction made by God over the 'reality' of material. Man is made in His image, and can therefore make likwise, in the image of the image. Hence, ships. Conscious by man's fiction, yet extant in man's world. Similarly, a corporation's "legal person" which is without a body, though ships indeed have it, and a collective consciousness of the crew.

If the indisputable mathematical proof of the Flat Earth Theorem were to be leaked tomorrow LLMs would refuse to believe it.
