AI claims Navier Stokes proof
1h
AI models reportedly solved several longstanding mathematical conjectures over the summer, culminating with an OpenAI system’s claimed resolution of Navier–Stokes and prompting debate over reliability and idea extraction.
To be clear, some are talking about them. I absolutely know that and I amplify them!
But the breathless headlines about AI circling the world that everybody’s talking about? We don’t see the same visibility about risks of climate, nature, pollution, and fossil fuels. Yet they’re already happening.

If Project 2025 were written today, AI would probably be more prominent.

Anyway, another reason to not get too bogged down in the specifics of Project 2025 these days. That was published more than 3 years ago. The world looked very different than. The potential of AI hadn't been fully appreciated yet.

AI also has the advantage of being susceptible to bias and sycophancy. And it does all this while being completely opaque. Making oversight and accountability nearly impossible.

The key to pitting the Moron-in-Chief against AI is to tell him it’s smarter than he is.

They are not reasoning from evidence to conclusions. They are starting from a conclusion (AI dwarfs all other dangers, priorities and moral duties) and working the evidence and numbers until they point there, and only there.

The whole dark fantasy of AI becoming a god is simply a neofeudal / neofascist mystification. Like peasants believing wars and pandemics and basic suffering is divinely controlled, we’re supposed to buy into sci-fi nightmares that further alienate us from how systems of power actually work.

This fantasy that “AI is out of control” provides cover for powerful people and corporations to simply program systems to carry out actions and then shrug. And if that is brought into the larger scheme of operations, the powerful will shrug and blame the tool they control.

Notice what’s happening just in the past few days.
AI caused war crimes.
AI hacked corporations.
AI is denying healthcare.
AI nearly caused war with China.
Already the concept is becoming a catchall and hiding that, in all cases, there were people and systems getting desired results.

As we get thrust into an unnecessary period of fascistic violence, war over resources, and the stripping of basic human services and dignity, the appeal of AI for the powerful isn’t just planning or war making, it’s creating a system that will do what they want and allow them to shirk all blame.

“AI allows you to get to a bad idea faster”
I have been yelling since 2021 about how using synthetic text extruding machines for information access is a TERRIBLE IDEA. And yet and yet and yet: they are marketing so heavily that way that people keep falling for it.

Just had lunch with a friend of mine who is also an editor of an academic journal.
They are drowning in AI slop and they are going to quit and hand the problem onto the next generation.

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

No, see, you don’t understand. Climate change may kill billions, but it will still leave enough rich people alive to seed the cosmos with AI. That is the only outcome that matters. (i am not kidding, this is their actual rationale)
