Mathematics is about understanding more about the world through logically sound reasoning, not for you to masturbate in circle about "the beauty of the human connections it creates" or some horseshit.

I should be glad enough that AI is one more tool to do that, but I'm even more glad that it'll make these faggots obsolete.

According to some 4chan retard?

I would feel more sad if pure mathematics wasn't something only achievable by nepobabies and/or independent wealthy people.

pure math started by throwing naked chickens at institutionalists and masturbating in public you cretan

>>17022400
Don't worry, AI will eventually do all the intellectual and artistic work and humans will only do back breaking labor and onlyfans, like god intended. No one will be special anymore in any way, we'll all revert to our natural goyim state
>>
>>17022467
Ok and today? Do you think anyone can do pure maths without having family in the field already?
>>
>>17022459
It takes no insight at all to say "look at all the beautiful people gathered around doing X!", for any field X of human endeavor. It's what people who have nothing concrete to contribute do to feel part of the group, they do meta-commentary. And for the same reason, that meta-commentary can't be part of the essence of the field it purports to describe.

Guess I studied topology, differential geometry, and abstract algebra (among others) for nothing then
Idk what's controversial. Postdocs in non-applied maths (hence pure maths) are harder to find than basically any other phd except maybe string theory type stuff. Even fkn astrophysics is easier to stay in.

Maths wasn't a passion for me so yeah I wouldn't have done it on my own. I need money to live like a weirdo
Which is why I changed field lol but applied maths is cool af so it's fine
>>
>>17022471
NTA but it also takes no insight at all to contribute equally-meta commentary such as "understanding more about the world through logically sound reasoning."
>>
>>17022491
Yeah, especially these days Pure Maths is for Schizo Savants and people who have a calling for it because it will likely not have an immediate Application hence "work for no payoff".

As someone that focused heavily on Pure I always knew it is a field to be couple with something else, like Physics.
>>
>>17022484
and you didn't understand why alex pissed off to the pyrenees
curious
>>
>>17022493
Yeah that was my goal to couple it with physics during masters but my country (Scandi) is retarded with prerequisites so I wasn't able to because "well you haven't got a bachelor in physics" despite the fact I obviously knew all the maths necessary for it
>>17022494
I'm from close to the pyreneans, I'd never fuck off there.
>>
>>17022492
Yes anon, the metacommentary that says "the field X is not about the metacommentary around it" is the same as the metacommentary that says "the field X is all about the metacommentary". Gripping meta-meta-commentary, you will do well in the humanities department.

> I am not interested in the truth of the results

That's a ridiculous thing to say by a supposed math lover. AI math will separate those who truly love math (and are interested in the actual results) from those who just do it for societal clout (and are only interested in the human procedures of doing math).
>>
>>17022575

This.

>Speedrunning solving seemingly impossible mathematical proofs is bad because a human didn't do it

Same cope by artists. Modern day luddites who refuse to adapt because of some bullshit about integrity and the "indomitable human spirit".

Or, you know, I don't give a fuck who provides the great math results, as long as I live to see them. Ivory tower dinosaurs, tech billionaries or local AIs running in some hacker's basement server.. All are good by me.

No, anon: your metacommentary is no closer to "field X" than the other anon's, despite whatever personal sentiment you have for it.

>>17022614
That's exactly the point of my metacommentary, and you're criticizing me for it, so you agree with both my premises and their conclusion.

Talking about what mathematics fundamentally is.

>I like Y about field X
Talking about an opinion.

You're allowed to "masturbate in horseshit" with a copy of Aluffi open nearby, but that doesn't make mathematics about "masturbating in horseshit", and you could have done the same with a copy of Infinite Jest just as well. Is every human endeavor just different aspects of "masturbating in horseshit" then?

Funny thing is that those neo-luddites had no problem with automatizing math before. Scripts, libraries, lean formalization and so on.

>>17022730
If you drain the bong water from that meme, there’s a kernel of truth: more proof descendants unrelated to the truth of RH have been distilled by both assuming it and not than would’ve been by assuming it or or not.

>>17022731

No, the null is that Y and Z are equivalently meta on X.

are mathematicians pretending now that they wouldn't be ecstatic if they proved some theorem themselves and got famous from it? this is like an incel becoming a monk

"mathematics require soul and intention"
Ok he is just a mathematician who feels threatened by a machine doing it, just like some artists felt threatened by the camera and whatnot, this is literally just a sad diary entry, math doesn't require shit, a theorem proved by a person or by a monkey on a typewriter works the same, the same is not true about a work of art, at least in metaphysical aspects, a exact atomic replica of a painting is not like the original only in the metaphysical sense, which is, for some, relevant for art, the same cannot be said about science and math.

Yeah, I replied to his "I want to see the beauty of how the mind thinks" school too

At the null manifold level:

0^2 = (√0 +√2/2 +I*√2/2)(√0-√2/2 - i*√2/2)(√0 +√2/2 -i*√2/2)(√0 -√2/2 +i√2/2)+ (√0 +I)(√0-i)(√0+√1)(√0-√1) =
E^2 (The invariant unity) = (√E +i√p)(√E-i√p)(√E+√p)(√E-√p) + (√E +i√m)(√E-i√m)(√E+√m)(√E-√m)

He did read it. Seems he's not interested in the mind doing math.......funny that

>>17022482
hilariously it only does this in English for me, anything I search in Japanese it doesn't do this, so I very often just tell it search JP sources only, or JP and then last english but only these sites and it mostly gets rid of that

Yeah, this guy was in the distinct minority even a hundred years ago. Computers were made precisely because autists like him take too long to solve the problem and we need those maths NOW to advance material science. If you want to be an artist, go finger paint.
