since many people are asking me about the new math results from OpenAI, here is my take. 1. It uses symbolic AI (Lean, etc) in addition to LLMs which is what i said for years we would need to do; this

The real news here isn’t the result; it’s what we were not told. 1. AI once tried to be a science. Now we get stuff like the completely vague report from OpenAI below, and a lot of ignorant questions

AI is absolutely not going to double humanity’s GDP by the early 2030s. Why do we platform these crazy claims that never come true? Anthropic's Sholto Douglas says AI capex could rise from 1 trillion
