Not a pro mathematician so apologies if Im hanging my butt out here, but I'm not convinced these solutions (or something analogous) aren't in the training data. Wouldn't be the first time. Several seem like the kind of thing you might figure out for a lemma on the way to something else unless you'd previously examined tHe ErDoS PrObLeMs.

Note: there are over 1200 problems that could be arguably labeled "Erdos Problems." It appears that a chatbot enjoyer vibecoded a website in 2024 and was somehow declared the chief keeper of the things. The site can be found here: https://www.erdosproblems.com/faq

George, are you saying that becoming the Eloi is good actually?

They're about to test the LD 50/30 for huffing their own farts

Looks like some read about ~~Dune~~ The Torture Nexus again.

If I had a nickel for every time I got ambushed at a party by a surprise right-wing shoeless guy...

Grim but likely true

I'm surprised that the religious fanatics (protestant) haven't turned on AI yet. The ones around these parts think that UFOs and pokemon cards are satanic, so the Californian lying machine that tells kids to kill themselves wouldn't be much of a reach.

Yeaaaaaaaaaah pretty much

In a surprising turn and with much hedging, George Hotz suggests that maybe LLMs are bad actually. hackernews says that he's holding it wrong.

alt textWSJ PATRICK SISON/ASSOCIATED PRESS Within hours of declaring that the federal government will end its use of artificial-intelligence tools made by tech company Anthropic, President Trump launched a major air attack in Iran with the help of those very same tools. Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic's Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations. The administration and Anthropic have been feuding for months over how its AI models can be used by the Pentagon. Trump on Friday ordered agencies to stop working with the company and the Defense Department designated it a security threat and risk to its supply chain.

A Harpers contributer does the legwork and gets a head start on deflating the next dumb hype cycle.

 

404 Media develops a skeptical take on an unhinged conference presentation.

TLDR: IAEA appears to be cooked. Peak lunacy is on display.

The comments are full of quality sneers.

Edit: The whole presentation feels like the product of an extended manic episode, it's comoleyely ungrounded from the realities of operating a commercial nuclear power plant.

 

This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.

 

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
