I got roasted by an AI

@emilylasse @Pasca_Lab Congratulations! That's amazing!

I’m so excited to say my 1st first-author paper has been published! Thank you to everyone who has helped me get this to the finish line! @Pasca_Lab insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

soooo why are proofs cultural objects? here's a quick thread 🧵

My artwork "Many Paths to the Beach" is currently on display at O'Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley CA. here's a math explainer thread: what are we looking at here?

@ben_golub A lot of my research is about using the algebraic geometry of semirings to create new algorithms for deep space satellite networking!

@mattecapu There's a connection here with valuation theory -- if you look at rings instead of semirings this question of what multiplicative structures exist on the Z submodules of a ring is exactly the question of what (generalized) valuations exist -- so there's a lot of connections here.

@mattecapu So it's definitely not no structure -- since at least a part of the core of the multiplicative monoid is determined by the additive monoid, but without knowing the addition I'm not sure how you could figure out which part of the multiplicative monoid is determined by the additive

it's easy to define multiplication inductively from addition (ab' = ab + a) but is the converse possible? can one define addition inductively from multiplication?

Deal infinite damage for 4GRU, as long as the twin primes conjecture is true.

DeBEE has fully recovered and is now off living her little native bee life!

DeBEE is still chugging. She still doesn't seem coordinated enough to fly, but she's gotten pretty goof at climbing around

I love lecturing because it's just like stand up comedy without the jokes or laughter or most of the audience.

Her name is DeBEE, and she is a strong little eastern carpenter bee

Update on bee - she's starting to do so much better. She was paralyzed for a while from the insecticide, then half paralyzed then uncoordinated, but she's recovering and starting to make attempts to fly now. As soon as she can fly I'll release her on her native pollinator way!

If anyone has some bee rehabbing tips I'd love to hear them. My neighbors poisoned the native bees, I found two brave lil dudes still barely truckin' and I'm trying to help them as much as possible.

I still can't get over how bad AI has become. And this is coming from a computer scientist who spent over a decade studying and programming AI. I fucking LOVE AI, but here are 10 reasons I absolutely fucking hate it now, a 🧵 ...

Appreciate the horrific degree of waste induced by capitalism: 3-4 companies are burning huge amounts of electricity to independently develop AI models, without sharing anything they learn with each other. Every possible mistake has probably been made independently by each team

Let me clear the air. I'm always down to go to the zoo with you. I will cancel plans just to go to the aquarium. The siren song of 6ft natural history museum haunts me. I'm thinking about botanical gardens as we speak.
