Is mathematical beauty like the beauty in literature and art – or is it something else? This Essay by Rita Ahmadi explores how beauty in mathematics might be defined, particularly in the age of AI
How should we define mathematical beauty in the AI age? | Aeon Essays
Is mathematical beauty real? Or is it just a subjective, human ‘wow’ that is becoming redundant in an AI age?

But less weird than quantum 😆
It was a fun and lovely discussion with Mariana and Fernando; Thanks everyone, particularly James and Hayley and all the Exhibition Road Festival team!
Discussing how human consciousness is as weird as black holes was so much fun!!

Big thanks to the Exhibition Road Festival team for putting such awesome events together ✨
At this weekend’s Great Exhibition Road Festival, Honorary Research Fellow Dr Fernando Ernesto Rosas De Andraca spoke to the BBC about one of science’s greatest mysteries — human consciousness 🧠✨

What makes us aware? And could AI ever be conscious?

I gave a talk in @pintofscience.uk! First, I had a chat with all attendees, most of them did not know quantum. Someone with the most irrelevant background asked a brilliant question; "What if in the double slit experiment, we put the observer in the superposition of seeing and not seeing?" 🤯
