>> What do you see as the problem with it (let alone "crisis")?

The fact that he didn't read the paper and he's talking about it as if he did.

Oh, I read further, for example where he says he didn't read the paper. I don't understand how someone of the obvious mathematical ability of David Harvey would write something like that. I just hope he has someone to speak with because he sounds like he's going through some kind of crisis maybe.

Thanks but I was looking for a specific brand which was from Iran.

Oh? Well I have not checked most of the details either, but I think that the claimed o(n log n) bound is not plausible at all.

Can someone please check most of the details of the paper and resolve our disagreement with Mr Harvey?

Everything that ever had value went the same way: food, art, motorcycles, tourism... you visit somewhere or buy something that looks exciting and 9 times out of 10 it's soulless, industrially produced, mass-targeted and ends up worth less than the money you spent on it.

It's surprising to feel that way about code projects. For most people computers always were soulless machines without anything creative associated with them. Now we're in a strange inversion of history where people who never had any idea what to do with a computer suddenly feel very creative talking to the cloud to ask it to rain down some weird and wonderful thing on them that they feel proud to post about on their social media.

Weird times. Anyway just wanted to say you're not alone.

I didn't call you an idiot, nor thought you are one. Can you explain what your comment meant? Because I clearly did no understand it.

      They threw 8,000+ problems at the wall and lesss than 400 stuck to it. I’m much more interested to see the transcripts from the 7,600+ that were discarded.
  
  ROFL. Why didn’t anyone ever think to say to Andrew Wiles, “forget about Fermat’s Last Whatever, tell us about all the math problems you couldn’t solve”?
  
  Anyway, my prediction in this post was exactly right. No matter what AI does, no matter what happens in external reality, cope springs eternal in the self-satisfied Internet commenter’s breast.

Amazing. I have never known a mathematician dismiss a quantitative inquiry with such a flippant attitude. Yes, in machine learning research we like to measure the performance of our systems in fractional quantities, for example "we gave this system 100 problems and it solved 10: that's an accuracy/solve rate/pass@1 of 10%". Nothing wrong with that and nothing to cope with.

400 (to be charitable) divided by 8000 is 0.05. 5% accuracy (again charitably) is ... not great. Remember this is the revolutionary approach that is going to transform mathematics and solve all problems currently unsolved by humans. Quite unlike the expectations placed upon oh, I don't know, Andrew Wiles, for example. AI is going to leave mathematicians out of work because it can solve all maths.

All of them.

5% at a time. Now who's being willfully blind?

P.S. What an ungracious, rude blog host.

>> I do not claim to know OpenAI's intentions or reasoning when these results were released and am not arguing that it was done with improper intentions, only that whether it was done out of goodwill is not a settled matter.

That's right honourable of you but for me it is very clear that the only incentive in AI companies' effort to produce mathematical results is to advertise their technology. There is no reason at all to assume they have any other motive; certainly not any kind of interest in mathematics as such.

Thanks for your perspective, genuinely.

What do you do if those results suck like in the article?
