Elon Musk is a mass murderer and this website is a machine for amplifying fascism. I'm here periodically to remind people of this, please find me elsewhere

Logging on to this site every once in a while and it just keeps becoming more blatantly and extremely racist, fascist, and pro-capitalist. Interesting combination, no?

🚨 Our first peer-reviewed paper on the challenges and opportunities of automating science with AI is now available at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Read the full paper here: pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pn…
2026 is the year of AI Scientists, among many other things. At Carnegie Mellon University, we‘re conducting some exciting research on the performance and safety of AI scientists.
Our first paper “The more you automate, the less you see: hidden pitfalls of AI scientist systems” is revised and available for reading. Our work has been coverred by undark too; links to the paper and coverage here:

Hello X! This is a reminder that racism is bad, actually
New: Chris Rufo & his co-host devoted podcast to "The Indian Question," framing Desi people as a problem to be solved. Their "solution?" Expulsion. For those allowed to remain: an “assimilation hazing process” w/ instances of “vulgar, defamatory racism" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/c…
Turns out that generating orders of magnitude more text (that nobody reads) doesn't make people healthier, who would have thought?
Hey kids!
Did you know that, today, there are already hundreds of thousands of children who are dead because of Elon Musk's illegal destruction of USAID, and there will be millions more? Real children who used to be alive, used to laugh and cry and smile when hugged
"I will conclude on a more personal note: in my own research, I have chosen not to rely on artificial intelligence to replace my creative process."
Hugo Duminil-Copin, a Fields Medalist, writes from the heart about what we mathematicians lose when we do math with AI.
Many people here on X will disagree with what he's saying. But before trolling or laughing or braying, try understanding what he's saying. He's not trying to persuade anyone. He's just speaking from his heart.

So a bunch of companies are expecting mathematicians to spend their "time to verify these results" for free..
After expecting talented undergrads to prompt the models for free..
Dressing advertising as academic collaboration..
"Sponsored hackathon" is just a euphemism for grift.
A few @Caltech friends and I are hosting the first math hackathon with frontier labs/startups.
We're giving $1M+ of compute to 100 teams to solve the hardest open problems -- competitors range from IMO golds to frontier/neolab folks to math PhDs/profs.
DM me if your company wants to be involved :) we are launching soon.
People here keep forgetting this platform is optimized to amplify racism. Nathan Cofnas is not a whistleblower. He didn’t expose some secret. He doesn’t care about academic integrity, and the people who do were already on the Arday case. Cofnas just activated a racist cancel mob

"I present the case for total opposition to the use of artificial intelligence in mathematics."
= a view you don't often hear on X. But I am looking forward to reading it carefully, and if you care about math and AI, I encourage you to do the same. arxiv.org/pdf/2608.02859
In 2021 I predicted the Silicon Valley C-suite/VC political realignment toward supporting genocidal fascism
Musk's (illegal) demolition of USAID is going to kill millions of children
Discovered @80000Hours has a podcast and I'm baffled at how much overlap there is between effective altruism and, e.g. libertarian "rationalism"
No amount of AI alignment research is going to stop tech CEOs from pushing the profit-from-genocide button, only unionized workers can

#AI research tip: when (1) your method is modular, (2) one of its parts--called "X"--can be replaced by a number of different existing pieces, (3) you have no idea how that choice should be made
Congratulations, your method/analysis is X-agnostic!

That's the difference between intelligence and AI
This is more of a humanity-appreciation post than an AI criticism one. The faith-like awe/hype now common in business and government about AI is like seeing a primate use a rock as a tool and being impressed by the rock

I think the myth of King Midas and his golden touch might be the best story for "AI" (and maybe technology generally)
We wish for something that will give us more wealth (or efficiency, time, convenience, etc), and often regret it (because we don't know our real needs)

"It from bit" - John Archibald Wheeler's catchphrase for an information theoretic foundation of physics
"Sh*t from bit" - me complaining about the information economy / "AI" being controlled by billionaires
"Is there not something evil in the act of blocking all future generations of mathematicians from the experience of discovery?"
They aren't just stealing all recorded human civilization, they are taking the future as well. Every pinnacle of human experience-- automated, "solved"
The Odyssey was about as good as it possibly could be considering Nolan had to work with such awkward source material
I respect the intention and effort, but my prediction is that projects like this (and LLMs generally) result in a deluge of papers which *might* be important breakthroughs or *might* be dead-ends, and human experts will have to spend enormous amounts of time to classify the two
AI is getting great at math, but how good is it at solving real research problems in areas outside of those covered by Erdős problems? Towards gauging this, I have started putting together a list of unsolved research problems in mathematical statistics and machine learning, sourced from recent papers in a leading statistics journal, the Annals of Statistics (with some bonus COLT open problems: solveall.org/.
Currently >100 problems.
In my view, much of the value of AI for researchers in the mathematical sciences stems from helping with their own research problems. These are problems without known solutions. There are many math benchmarks, but few with the following properties:
(1) of a realistic research-level, so that solving them can potentially lead to a publication in a top journal (problems discussed in papers already, not contest math, not Millenium problems, not problems created for a benchmark, not problems that have a known solution);
I'd say Erdős problems are the best example of this.
(2) cover problems outside of the usual focus (combinatorics, number theory, ... ) of Erdős problems. Especially under-represented are domains of applied math, along with statistics, operations research, etc.
I'm interested in statistics and ML, so that's where I started, but this could grow over time.
Hope this can grow into something useful to the community! Happy to hear your thoughts...
Never forget that elon was joking about this as he did it
One of the most evil men in all of history
More signs of resurging HIV after USAID’s closure. African Neonatal Network reported at IMNCH (a global health conference): HIV+ pregnant women ↑50% & those not on antiretrovirals ↑>300%, year-on-year, across 22 hospitals in 5 nations. @VTOxfordNetwork
Important to both (1) look at individual, documented cases, to see the individual humanity of children who deserved to live dignified lives but instead died in misery specifically because of Elon Musk, and (2) understand that the impact extends far, far beyond these cases
Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵xitter.cf/elonmusk/status/206944…
