Do you seriously think that in four months’ time all of mathematics will have been ‘completed’ by AI?

We were told in 2023 that there’d be no more jobs within months and the singularity was here. At some point you have to realise it’s not happening.

Let me know when the other (much harder) millennium problems get resolved, let alone explained in a satisfactory way.

I never recall hearing that other than from people strawmanning what the labs were saying.

It's the same as conservatives who tirelessly repeat "In 1995 they told us the world would be underwater by 2015, those climate scientists are full of shit" - no, no one ever said that, you just listen to grifters who only can strawman.

Actually it was mostly said by the bonkers AI-obsessed Redditors (for whom it seemed to be the absolute consensus), though the tech bro CEOs like to allude to it too. They just make it just vague enough to scare investors and governments but also be plausibly denied later when it turns out not to happen.

By the way, I don’t think climate denial has (or at least should, though I know Americans like to politicise everything under the sun) anything to do with ‘conservatism’.

As long as there are problems to discover and solve, which is forever.

The risk of liability is a social problem that is far more difficult to be solved with technical solutions even with AI.
