I can deal with apathy, that’s the norm. What bothers me are all the people who think they can suppress AI by talking it down. That’s what’s counterproductive, just pretend the problem doesn’t exist. Tell other people it doesn’t exist either. I get it, it’s threatening socially, economically, maybe existentially. It’s also not going away.

So you think it’s a potentially existential threat but are bothered by people who maybe want to suppress it… Hopefully you acknowledge there is a bit of lack of self awareness here eh?

You seem to have misunderstood my point.

It’s not apathy. It’s the fact that almost nobody can really understand what these results mean.

I’m not a mathematician so I have zero clue what “ New upper bounds on sphere-packing density down to the Cohn–Elkies thresholds” means.
