This definitely has chances of regressions because of the mid-conversation system messages. We baked it for a while, but not many run it from main.

Spoiler: It's not a psyop. You can disagree with the view that AI is a meaningful x-risk (I do!). And it's worth understanding that people who are worried about this have often been worried about it for decades, long before there was money in it. Coordinating messages != psyop. Quoting @DavidSKrueger I feel blessed to have gotten so much new engagement from accounts that this AI risk is a psyop. I have been deeply involved in both technical AI research and AI risk reduction efforts for over a decade, so personally I'm confident it's not a psyop. But I can understand why people who lack this kin… Related

Mathematical physicist at UC Riverside. Wrote This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics and now the Azimuth blog on mathematics, physics and environmental science.
News flash: OpenAI claims formal proof that Navier-Stokes solutions can blow up. They used 10,000 agents simultaneously, who sent 2.7 million messages and used ~130 billion output tokens. They will not claim the $1,000,000 Millennium Prize for this result. This prize is not going as expected. The first winner refused to take it, saying the math establishment is corrupt. The second possible winner is a team of 10,000 AIs whose human masters turned down the prize. 😆 https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/ (1/2) OpenAI Related

Their words
Linux conquered everything else. All the AI infrastructure that everyone runs off, it's all running on Linux. All the systems, all the servers, everything is Linux. So it was kind of a curiosity that the desktop and the personal computers we were using really hadn't been captured, but clearly it was just waiting for this moment. Linux spent the time from '91 to now waiting for agents to fully flourish as an end user operating system.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
