1. Iecietība, kas nav pieciešana. 2. Kritiskā domāšana, kas nav kritizēšana. 3. Pazemība, kas nav zemošanās. – at Riga, Latvia
Šodien 27 īsteno un 30 korespondētajlocekļu vēstule nosūtīta LZA prezidentam Ivaram Kalviņam, prasot atbildes un atbildību par viņa rīcību pilsonības piešķiršanas jautājumā. Sagaidām atbildes un rīkojamies tālāk atbilstoši demokrātiskajiem principiem un akadēmijas statūtiem.

Kā @LZA_LV īstenais loceklis un pētnieks uzskatu, ka situācija ar Latvijas pilsonības piešķiršanu Indijas zinātniecei Divjai Kananai Višvanatai jau ir kaitējusi Latvijas Zinātņu akadēmijas un visas valsts reputācijai. Tāpēc jārīkojas ātri un atbildīgi!

I’m very opinionated. So it’s nearly impossible for me to hear someone’s arguments and *not* find something I disagree with. (This includes reading things I myself wrote years - or weeks - ago.) And yet the amazing Grant Sanderson @3blue1brown has put out a long, detailed video on the future of mathematics, in which I cannot find a single flaw. I’ll be sending this to every PhD student and postdoc I know, and strongly recommend everyone watch it.

(Of course I tried to say many of the same things in my conversation with Thomas Koberda. But Grant’s version, unsurprisingly, does an infinitely better job at communicating those ideas!)

Nu nevar skandināt visu dienu stāstu par valsts budžeta dramatisko jostu savilkšanu un tad virzīt jaunus futbola stadionus sportam kurš nevar piepildīt mazu stadionu galvenām spēlēm un kur mūsu rezultāti globāli ir absolūti nekur. 🤷♂️😡

10 remarks on AI and math that can be true all at once:
1. The recent progress is stunning and exciting.
2. The Quasi-Riemann Hypothesis is arguably Fields-medal level.
3. Mathematics is being transformed and there is no way back.
4. OpenAI doesn't give a fuck about the future of mathematics.
5. Half-baked unreadable preprints claiming major results can effectively stall mathematical progress.
6. Some mathematicians are responding with naive, overly defensive comments.
7. The social-media wankers framing this as "OpenAI tramples gatekeeping" have no experience of mathematical research.
8. The product of mathematics is clarity and understanding. Not theorems, by themselves.
9. Mathematics is a critical infrastructure of human cognition. The human need for understanding isn't obsolete and it can't be offloaded to machines.
10. We haven't "solved" mathematics and we won't get there before the Sun burns out.

OpenAI publicējusi 722 matemātikas rakstus, kuros atrisinātas daudzas ļoti augsta līmeņa matemātikas problēmas. Arī tās, kuras es/mani kolēģi gadiem (vai ilgāk) centušies atrisināt. 1/5
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

Quasi-RH?!?!???! Are you kidding me? If a human did this, it would be an instant Fields Medal, no questions asked.
RH says zeta has no zeros in Re(s)>1/2. The best we had until a second ago was a region that got thinner and thinner the higher up the imaginary axis you go. I thought maybe they’d fatten that up a bit, that’d be a massive breakthrough. But no. They got a zero free strip!!!! Insane

Darba grupas ziņojums par to, kā mans zinātnes virziens mainīsies mākslīgā intelekta ietekmē un kā jāreaģē zinātnieku kopienai, saucās "AI and TCS: The Next Six Months". Viss attīstas tik ātri, ka kolēģi neuzdrošinās prognozēt tālāk uz priekšu.
Going to represent @universitatelv coordinated research project "ElQuRes" at "Impact of Quantera" strategic conference in Basel.

Piektdien Zinātnieku naktī demonstrēsim pirmo kvantu datoru Latvijā. LU Zinātņu māja (Jelgavas 3), 205. telpa.
Pastāstīju izklaidējošā formātā par Navjē-Stoksa tūkstošgades problēmu, singularitātēm un straujām pārmaiņām akadēmiskajā matemātkā: youtu.be/N-eTfT5Rn-g
Pie reizes pareklāmēju Latvijas unviersitāti plašai krieviski klausošai auditorijai :)

Once AI companies have to start charging the real costs and making profits, there's going to be a massive inequality between mathematicians around the world and even between institutions, in a way we've never seen before. I think this is sad.
MI kā katalizators vispārējais debilizācijai ir daudz tiešāks drauds par Skynet un visu matemātisko problēmu atrisināšanu. Skatīt 0:15-0:25. Ne jau tikai augstākie vadītāji (ministri) šādi pieejiet saviem uzdevumiem...
