Normal people using AI: look how stupid this shit is!!
Terence Tao using AI: As an experiment, I asked #ChatGPT to write #Python code to compute, for each 𝑛, the length 𝑀(𝑛) of the longest subsequence of (1,\dots,n) on which the Euler totient function ϕ is non-decreasing. For instance, 𝑀(6)=5, because ϕ is non-decreasing on 1,2,3,4,5 (or 1,2,3,4,6) but not 1,2,3,4,5,6. Interestingly, it was able to produce an extremely clever routine to compute the totient function (that I had to stare at for a few minutes to see why it actually worked), but the code to compute (M(n)) was slightly off: it only considered subsequences of consecutive integers, rather than arbitrary subsequences. Nevertheless it was close enough that I was able to manually produce the code I wanted using the initial GPT-produced code as a starting point, probably saving me about half an hour of work. (and I now have the first 10,000 values of (M)). The results were good enough that I would likely turn to GPT again to provide initial code for similar calculations in the future. chat.openai.com/…/a022e1d6-dddc-4817-8bbd-944a3e7…

Im listening to this podcast “History of philosophy without any gaps” and in various points in History a group of people starts arguing against philosophy, but you can’t really argue that philosophy is dangerous or useless, without seeing yourself doing philosophy for that.

I like to post sometimes on the “guess the song” AI communities, but more often than not, the Bing image creator just plast the lyrics on the image making it useless for the game.

Guess the first one was even worse than this one at this stage of development, but nobody knew about the game yet. I’m still waiting for the finished product (as I did with the first one), I don’t want to spoil me.

You can’t raise it like a human because is not a human. Are you going to put it the size of baby? Gonna pump it with hormones that change its structure when it becomes a teen?
- Comment on kids are gowing up faster and faster 2 weeks ago:
For the untrained eye can look complicated because it had a pretty unorthodox syntaxes, like <- to variable assign, c() to create a vector, df$column… and other little R specific things that are not common on other languages.
- Comment on kids are gowing up faster and faster 2 weeks ago:
I always got straight A in maths in high school but never like it, when graduate went to film school and after a couple of years working on TV and films I got tired of the bad pay, the job insecurity and the constant need of networking to catch projects. So I decided to look inside into coming back to college not for something I liked but for something I’m good at, and got myself a degree in actuarial sciences. I miss being able to smoke weed while on the job, but the pay is way better, there’s always a job lined up if I get tired of my job and at the end, I learned to enjoy maths and to solve problems.
Maybe if you show her all the beautiful mathematic graphics and functional 3d models, you can show her that she cN learn to love something that she’s naturally good at.
- Comment on kids are gowing up faster and faster 2 weeks ago:
I use python as my main programming language, I’m doing an MBA in actuarial sciences and all my professors use R, so all the classes and exercises are in R. They are kind enough to accept my exercises and exams in python, but I spent half my time translating R functions to python. This pass week I found the first function that doesn’t exists in python and had to learn how to run R code inside python. Just the cell of that function took 6hs processing, because of the back and forth between python to R to python again.

- Comment on Why IBM employees in Brazil are suing to be classified as tech workers 3 weeks ago:
Brazillian IBM have them classified as “comercial” workers, like shop assistants or cashiers, so they’re part of that union that is not very good. They’re fighting to be classified as the correct classification and be part of the correct union, with better perks I suppose.

- Comment on I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping 4 weeks ago:
It’s feel so rare reading all those stories on internet, while my family is crazy alt-right that eat all the communist conspiracies on the internet, except the ones referencing vaccines or climate change. Like every newborn baby on the family is “quarantined” until all vaccines are on (at least the ones from the first 6 months) so everyone’s following the vaccine calendar to mark when the baby’s is going to meet the rest of the family.

- Comment on Ask ChatGPT to pick a number between 1 and 100 5 weeks ago:
I remember watching a lecture about probability, and the professor said that only quantum processes are really random, the rest of things that we call random is just the human inability to measure the variables that affects the random variable. I’m an actuarie, and it’s made me change the perspective on how I see and study random processes and how it made think on ways to influence the outcome of random processes.

I don’t like the inclusion of 37%, it’s 1/e that isn’t even 37%, is only that because of a pretty arbitrary rounding. Veritasium videos are usually OK, but this one is pretty meh.
