#Huggingface lets you add your personal p(doom) prediction to your profile now.
Makes for a nice personal touch of living through the apocalypse, if you ask me.

When discussing scientific achievements made mostly or partly by AI systems, especially the headline-making ones, it's good to think about the resources being allotted to such projects, which are plausibly incomparable to previous investment. For instance, I suspect that no one had previously invested several millions of dollars to hire a team of mathematicians exclusively to tackle a single millennium problem.

The problem isn’t this technology or that technology, people, the problem is capitalism. The problem is authoritarianism. The problem is a system of normalised hierarchy and privilege.

OpenAI apparently put roughly 10,000 agents on the task, 88 hours of reasoning, 130 billion output tokens. Then spent another 17 hours to validate the result in Lean, a proof assistant that mechanically checks every logical step. Estimated compute cost: somewhere between $15 million and $22 million!
