It doesn’t matter—for how long do you think you’ll be able to guide AI better than AI? You’re going to get left behind either way, so just do whatever makes you happy.
If that means grinding out however many more results in the last few years of human excellence, then do that; if instead it means retaining your dignity and independence and doing math the “old” way, then do that.
Just look at your timeline—all you do is blather about Muslims and India.
“What should we do?”
Ghar wapas jao. Maybe you’ll be happier with your body and mind reunited.
Halfway into the walk and I think I’ve found a clean, combinatorial proof of a well-known algebraic identity. In an hour I’ll get home and put pen to paper/finger to keyboard only to find out that I messed up/it’s known. But for now, life’s good.
Among the funniest developments of the 2020s is the universalization of American conservative neuroses. There are now Africans cuckposting about neighboring ethnic groups and Israelis crying that they’re being Replaced by Arabs at the behest of Jews more liberal than themselves.
If listening to that indicates having graduated to “acceptance”, then I’m still squarely in depression: genius.com/Yl-larlar-10-pard…

Afaict, it’s not known after whom the mummy’s face was modeled, but it matches Seti I’s (unforgettable) face so well that despite the anachronism I’d like to think it was him. collections.musees-normandie…
My brother dug up my old blog from high school. It’s depressing to see how comparatively inarticulate I’ve become now that I’m no longer churning out prose every day.
(There are a couple minor typos/errors—cf. the alt text—but the essential mathematical ideas still hold up.)
ALT The given definition of “purity” is incorrect; what is specified by the formula would be in the post’s terminology be “pure irreducibility”. Instead it should say something like “m is pure iff m divides a power of every divisor of a power of m”.
ALT In the definition of interchangeability, “m” is twice incorrectly capitalized as “M”.
I still plan on writing math the “old” way save for using an LLM to proofread the end result/suggest additional citations. To keep myself honest, I’ll just commit both the before and after drafts and push them to a public GitHub repo.
