Henry Neville quoted Tacitus in this 1599 letter to Robert Cecil. The exact same passage is underlined and bracketed in the Audley End Tacitus.

model margins will approach zero unless reg capture happens. all value is in the infra and app layers.

I understand the importance of Lean. But today, when an AI-generated paper claims to resolve a conjecture, we turn to the mathematical community to assess whether it is correct. If Lean becomes the ultimate arbiter, doesn’t that risk taking the mathematicians out of the equation?

@boazbaraktcs It won’t let you. You realize that right. By the time anyone is willing to do it, it will be too late.

@emollick They are much much much better now at studying early modern English texts. Directly reading and interpreting them or doing stylometric analysis of them. It is a remarkable improvement. They are also much better at reading handwriting from the period and doing online research.

There's been a talk about how LLMs are only advancing in verifiable areas like math or coding, but that isn't what the data suggests. As models have gotten better at that, they are also better at solving business cases in unbounded fields, generating ideas, medicine, law, etc.
Ethan Mollick@emollick

Cool paper looking at how AIs solve unbounded, complex business problems in many fields by testing how well they can crack the cases we use to teach MBAs in business school: 1) AI already does extremely well across diverse business topics 2) Models are improving rapidly with time

I made the mistake of watching the @elonmusk @TheEconomist interview before I went to bed and I couldn’t sleep thinking about how in ten years Elon thinks we will all be chimpanzees to AI — and we are building it anyway

Not one mathematician (neither Gowers nor the Leiden people nor Terry Tao) is commenting on how to justify maths as a paid profession if AI becomes so good that humans only slow it down by being in the loop.

NVIDIA is making a substantial investment into Ilya Sutskever's secretive Safe Superintelligence after being given an exclusive look into their research. As part of the deal SSI will receive access to enough NVIDIA GPUs to increase their computing power by an order of magnitude.

SSI Inc.@ssi

We are announcing a long-term strategic partnership with NVIDIA. NVIDIA is making a substantial investment in SSI that will let us 10x our compute in the next 12 months. We reached the point where our research is worth scaling and with this partnership we will be able to. We are honored by NVIDIA’s conviction.

"Within 3 years, commonly available AI tools will, effectively for free and with zero human supervision, be able to accomplish any research-level task in any field of mathematics at a super human rates of success, correctness and quality." Now what?

me: please translate this document gpt 5.6 sol: let me start by downloading a 6 GB local llm to do this translation me: wtf, why don't you translate it yourself? is the local llm better at translation? gpt 5.6 sol: no, best would be a frontier model like gpt 5.6 sol. do you want me to send this document to the openai API?

@TheZvi Exactly the same tactics he used to use to shill for Russia vs. Ukraine. Just amazing to watch him pick his targets and use the same cheap nonsense.

David Sacks@DavidSacks·
The entire tech industry (save for Anthropic) has come out in favor of open source AI. So what happens next? Will Anthropic change its lobbying efforts? Not likely. Now the gaslighting begins: “Nobody is trying to ban open source.” “We just want to limit who can use it.” “We just want to limit who can contribute to it.” “We just want to limit how powerful those models can be.” “We just want to make sure the guardrails (we lobbied for) can’t be removed.” The net effect will be the same. They won’t stop until they kneecap open source. The rest of the industry needs to watch these guys like a hawk.

@stevenstrogatz It’s so sad what Searle did to his legacy. I took philosophy of mind from him back in 1992…

Wonderful! I've heard of Searle's "Chinese Room" thought experiment in philosophy (which aims to show that AI doesn't "understand" anything) -- but it's a treat to see Searle explain it.

@denny_zhou No, the AIs will just make new proofs. The medium term job of the mathematician will be to interpret the proofs for humans.

Denny Zhou@denny_zhou·
After seeing all the recent tweets about mathematical breakthroughs, my daughter asked, “Why are those conjectures decades old? Have any big ones been proposed recently?” When AI makes proofs cheap, mathematicians’ work will increasingly shift toward asking deep questions and formulating bold new conjectures.

@ajambrosino It’s incredible that the codex app is so young. I literally switched to a Mac for it.

this week last year I joined OpenAI in some ways it feels like 5 minutes ago. in some ways 5 years. somehow this technology day to day feels ordinary. as if the daily and weekly improvements are somehow just a normal natural thing. but rewind a year and tell me what we have today and I’m not sure I’d believe you gpt-5 was less than a year ago. the codex app is less than 6 months old. we’re still pretty early
