You are the one who said “doesn’t affect most people”. But now, what you write is it’s only 5% of the people being affected. Damn. So you acknowledge 5% are affected but that’s ok. It’s only 5%. It is profoundly immoral to think nothing

That doesn’t mean you have rights. It just means you haven’t yet been targeted. EDIT: Being in the position of not belonging to a group targeted for retribution by the government isn’t an indication of having rights. When black men who a

You have no real rights when police can kill, maim, or otherwise fuck you up with impunity even when you have done nothing wrong. Philando Castile and others demonstrate this. You may win in court but your life can be fucked up if the pol

No complaints from me about for profit insurance companies withholding treatment. They are doing the Lord’s work. We need them. Stephen Helmsley deserves more than $61 million a year.

Ah yes. Those health insurance companies are doing God’s working protecting us all. They have no part in why our system is heinously overpriced as you put it.

In a properly run society higher education would be very cheap and its utility would not be measured solely on whether or not degrees are directly used in employment.

If a counterexample to a conjecture is found then all work toward proving consequences of the conjecture will cease. No one is trying to discover consequences of the Jacobian Conjecture now. At some point an AI will prove a result that is

Which product becomes better if it is correct? Tying the worthiness of theoretical knowledge to the whether or not it improves a product is asinine in my opinion.

Some people (almost all mathematicians) wouldn’t want to spend time on consequences of a false statement. In the present discussion it’s not about letting me do something I can’t do now but about whether or not the endeavor is worthwhile.

There is no actual oracle. In this discussion oracle means Lean.

You are wrong as far as most mathematicians believe. The fact is important. The proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra is interesting and important but the theorem itself is also important. For what? Which product becomes better if

You have an unfortunate view of the value of knowledge. The frontiers of science would be static if everyone believed as you do.

If it is known that A is provably true then one can study the consequences of A being true. It changes things becuase the body of knowledge has expanded.

If it’s an oracle and we know it’s an oracle then it’s not useless. Humans make mistake and there are examples of published results that were widely believed to be correct by experts that later proved to be wrong. Why do you think human

My post was sarcasm. I wondered if anyone would defend the absurdity of it but the post got flagged. The IDF says that the IDF is the most moral army in the world.

Abhyankar and others spent years trying to find an easier proof. I’m not an algebraic geometer and I don’t know the state of things now. I was under the impression that on the level of Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms one can introduce

That will certainly happen. Humans will extend AI generated results. But what will also happen is that AI can “think” much longer than a human can and can have a vastly greater base “knowledge” than humans can have and so there will be a b

I wonder what his views on the 4 color problem are. One can explain it as the computer checked a bunch of cases and all maps reduce to one of these cases. It doesn’t take an expert to state this. Properly explain is an enormous grey area.

The question is, will universities continue to fund graduate programs to the extent they currently do so that people can find elegant proofs of AI derived theorems? I’m skeptical. A lot of good mathematicians tried to prove or disprove th

According to Tao and Gowers there are AI results that did proofs in clever ways. That’s one way new theories come about.

I am ABD in mathematics. That was a long time ago. I taught math for many years at a community college. My amateurish but knowledgeable perspective is that these developments shatter the mystique for me. What AI is showing is that mathem

The ACA was the Republican plan until championed by Obama. The Republican goal was to say anything to denigrate their own plan. Romney later became the nominee for President and it was his plan that the ACA was largely based off of. Repub

It was the Medicaid expansion that has been cited as saving lives [0]. Medicaid expansion saved lives. That is true and not in dispute. Other lives were saved too. It wasn’t just poor people who obtained life saving care from ACA. In a

Would you have been able to keep your plan under the system before ACA? There’s a lot of context missing in your comment.
