I recently spoke with someone from Gen Z who just began dating someone new He said he will upload entire chat histories of their texts and shared photos to ChatGPT and ChatGPT will analyze the relationship, break down their relational patterns and attachment styles, and advise him how to approach the relationship going forward for optimal outcomes, even crafting exact texts for him to send back to her And it is good at it. It’s really accurate and *incredibly* good. According to this guy, “all his friends are doing this now” Wow. Thinking back to that era of my life, I remember all the uncertainty of a brand new relationship. To relieve the uncertainty, we would go to our friends to share and get advice. The entire experience was human-based This is so much easier and more powerful than that, and the entire experience is technology-based Still trying to wrap my mind around all the implications of this. But a few initial thoughts: 1. Anything you text or send to another person can be turned over to AI without your knowledge 2. Are any of these relationships organic? What if both parties are doing this? Is this just one Chatbot dating another Chatbot with a human facade? 3. This doesn’t bode well for the traditional dating coach or marriage therapist career path

Should you get a PhD in CS/AI? Both seem to be true: 1. 95% of PhDs would have done equally well career-wise without one. 2. 95% of real AI breakthroughs (ImageNet, Transformers) came from PhDs.

I spent a lot of time in Princeton during my PhD, and probably attended every math conference. It was common that the conference was related to one very narrow area of math, so the idea was they everyone from the same area gets together and talk about common things. What we quickly learned that sometimes every mathematician in each area can be so so deep that other one might need 10 years to learn to understand what they were even talked about. My initial instinct that one day AI can bridge these conversations. We can use AI to translate one math paper from area A to a language of area B , so area B mathematician would understand. It is math to math translation. In princeton we didn’t have AI but had the most talented of all (to me) Peter Sarnak, who speaks everyone’s language, even quantum physics language. He was able to understand every mathematician subject in a room, sometimes much deeper than anyone else …
