Import AI event: Fiction and the Future with Robin Sloan. I’ll be chatting with my chum Robin Sloan on Sep 14 in San Francisco. We’ll talk about the alien yet relatable worlds Robin builds and how imagined futures can be a mirror to today’s reality. If you'd like to come, register here https://t.co/q9lZskhoYv
As an aside, very few AI safety people have seen Terminator 2. I know this because it's a perfect movie and I've had a side quest over the past few years to get influential safety people to watch Terminator 2 with me.
Humans used their evolved neural networks to develop math over many centuries. In time, they showed more and more concepts could be formalized to enable rigorous proofs (Dedekind et al).
Then they showed that the notion of proof itself could be formalized and that simple mechanical processes (algorithms) could verify and search for proofs (Frege,…
I might point out that I've never called the data center backlash a psyop because those don't really work at the scale we're talking about https://t.co/i3yGsHZWJJ
My guest post on Terence Tao's famous blog: https://t.co/C6KcYhYowE
Thank you Terry for giving us this opportunity and talking about our work from the very moment we launched on September 7th even before @OpenAI did.
In the post, I go into how our method takes a different starting point: designing physics-AI (PINN) to discover singular candidate…
