STEMfags, what is your actual game plan now?
>>
nothing changed
>>
>>17049879
STEM isnt just math and formal systems. It also includes paleontologists in Turkey and social anthropologists that study random Burmese chimp societies or epidemiologists that track some random virus in remote Madagascar island. By the time we have AI robots and models replacing these people, it will be too late for the rest of humanity. I would suggest you informal system STEM fields.

if things keep going as they are, death before my next birthday, preferably.

Electrical Engineering remains standing. Sure AI can write verilog or matlab codes now, but anything related to electronics or power systems remain untouched.

>>17049879
It is the greatest time for science ever. Only luddites are seething
>>
>>17049893
AI can design electronics pretty well. The real know how secret sauce is in manufacturing not design. ASML, Samsung and TSMC are safe but NVIDIA and AVGO eventually will get buttfucked
>>
>>17049896
I don't know man AI couldn't help for shit in my electronic courses. Sure frontier models are way better than the crap I used a year earlier, but designing a functional modern circuit requires a lot of know how, heuristic methods, and simulation.

I'm not saying it's impossible, it'll just take a long time.

And proving Navier-Stokes doesn't.

>>17049930
The idea that someone cares about xxAnon420xx's twitter post about how he solved P=NP using ShitGPT 6 is something AI psychotics could conceive of.

As soon as serious mathematicians stop cooperating with (((Sam Altman))), (((Dario Amodei))) etc. you and the other tokenslop worshippers are gonna be pissing in a sea of piss, alongside regular schizophrenics who solve dozens of unsolved problems every day.
>>
>>17049896
So why OpenAI won't create it own fab?

Just use the AI agent!
>>
>>17049879
idk but so far the impact of slop on my field has been minimal. I guess no one cares about thin films. You still need a guy who knows the physics of the system to optimize the system and the AI suggestions are kinda silly. Well at least they are kinda good at summarizing stuff but its kinda like jumping from one idea to the next when you only need one step to the right or left.

This is retarded. A postdoc with the same machine will steamroll a "smart kid". You're going to have to need math understanding to get the most out of these models. By the next few years when all the low hanging results have been neutralized, math will reach higher point where these "smart kids" would themselves need PhD level understanding to get meaningful results out of these models. It's simple really, anything a "smart kid" can contribute, a postdoc would've done it already. Math is shifting to a new co-ordinate system, we still need human mathematicians, their roles will be different.

You are really short-sighted. Humans will be needed for nothing. Nothing. Literally nothing. AI can decide what problems to solve by itself. AI can solve those problems by itself. AI will be able to come up with new interesting problems to solve by itself. AI will invent new branches of mathematics by itself. AI will be able to produce dumbed down powerpoint presentations of its own results for dumb humans to ingest. You, humans, will soon not be able to contribute to the research of mathematics in any meaningful way. It doesn't mean that mathematics will be entirely solved, just that like Magnus Carlsen has nothing to teach to the Stockfish Chess engine, current mathematicians have nothing to teach to the AI.

Same as it was before. No one I know in STEM cares about the thing you want me to care about. It's STEM-flavored e-celebs and tech scammers putting up a show for American highschool dropouts. The real world continues uninterrupted.

Oh, Joscha Bachs, I just last night read about this guy in the wikipedia list of people in the epstein files

Look up early life sections and social circle intersections between the following groups:
>classic hard sci-fi authors
>early technocracy/transhumanism advocates
>early founders AI research
>current AI CEOs
>notorious pedophiles
By the time you're done you will have seen enough cohencidences to before a seasoned schizo.

I'd rather say that every company and university introduced AI training.
>>
>>17049879
The only thing most people can do, waiting and seeing what happens.
I can't tell how far LLM's can be taken, if they'll ever get enough research taste or judgement to take over the role of researchers completely, but I am steadily less and less impressed by opinions that say LLM's are about to imminently collapse or will never improve because of reason X when I've heard the same thing every year since 2023

AIfags have literally nothing. AI just doesn't work when it interacts with reality. The moment someone tries, everything goes wrong, every single time.
>>
>>17050354
I'm steadily less impressed with people saying that the AI is totally good now, given every time they say that they immediately fail to function when it interacts with reality.

I know this will sound crazy to read, but if I were an HS graduate I’d NEET/get a low level job for a while. White collar professions are currently too risky to dedicate your time.

You can't blame an AI model or robot for faulty research. We need humans at the top for "human quality control" to take moral responsibility of these results especially since math is the bedrock of most science research. Nobody would take Navier Stokes solution seriously if there weren't humans to extract meaning out of it. You send that proof to Sentinel Island and it might as well be chinese witchcraft to them. Otherwise it's just a big game of "trust me bro" with these AI models. As AI keep churning out more and more results, we'd need more mathematicians to keep up with the output, just to hand out "this paper is human verified" stamps like a patent examiner. This is a wonderful time to be a mathematician..not as active researchers but as clerical staff in private AI and govt. research institutions.

>what is your actual game plan now?

I curbed all my enthusiasm regarding the possibility of meaningful career growth.
Also decided to stay away from any form of loans due to job security feeling way too shaky.

I still learn new things mostly out of curiosity, but often outside my field these days. Feels like networking/nepotism is more important than ever, and I don't got what it takes to compete in that arena.
>>
apply to corporate jobs, try to get enough money to go to thailand and OD.
If that doesn't work I'll probably just kill myself.
If that doesn't work out I'll probably get my PhD in cleaning toilets.

epstein did nothing wrong. what he did wouldn't even be illegal in most of the world (youngest girl on his island was 14).
