I have two wolves inside me—a mathematician and an artist—and I feed them equally well. All of my art is made without AI. I find generative AI repulsive. I have no desire to use it, nor do I wish to collaborate with anyone who uses it.
Since the semester starts in a few days, I thought I'd share a link to the web app I've been working on: divisbyzero.github.io/impossible-o.... It lets you design your own impossible objects! Anyone can view and rotate them in a browser, but you can also download the OpenSCAD file to generate a
Thank you, @moduality.bsky.social for pointing out the weird shadows of my impossible objects. That got me to think of yet another way to show how weird they are. Here, a light is shining down from behind at a 45° angle!
Currently, this is my favorite decomposition of the infinite knight’s graph. Note that each of the four 2-factors is a translation of any of the others, and each has mirror symmetry in the downward sloping diagonal.
We should all start spelling "Ai" with a lowercase "i" because (1) the "Artifice" part should have more weight, the "intelligence" part less, and (2) we gotta put more respect on Weird Al Yankovic's name.
In summary, it seems like two of the biggest results in their big list of 10 was just putting two things together and not citing them properly paywall-free link: www.yahoo.com/news/science...
OpenAI’s latest math breakthroughs commit research misconduct, experts say
OpenAI’s newest chatbot may be a whiz at math, but it seems to be lagging far behind humans in its academic rigor. Last week the company announced 10 more artificial-intelligence-generated math advan...

If you have any connection to Yale, I strongly recommend you tell President McInnis what you think of her efforts to cut a "deal" with Trump. Email president@yale.edu Phone 203-432-2550
Me to Yale: "If fighting Trump costs Yale billions of dollars, so be it. Yale actually has billions of dollars that it could devote to this fight. This is an existential moment. If Yale does not fight, it will become a mediocre institution for cowards, right wingers, and white supremacists..."
Finally, please sign the petition from the Yale alumni group Stand Up for Yale telling the administration not to cave to this regime's racist demands. actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...
Tell Yale: Don’t cave to Trump Administration demands
On Friday, the New York Times broke the news that Yale is in the midst of settlement negotiations with the Trump administration over an investigation into its admissions policies at the college, law s...

The large image on the right shows a 24x24 section of a decomposition of the infinite knight's graph into four 2-factors The four smaller images on the left show the four 2-factors. Here, the yellow and blue 2-factors are translations of each other, and the same is true for the black and red.
Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

Weeks ago, @chanda.blacksky.app sent me this declaration, written and signed by a bunch of mathematicians. But I only had time to read it yesterday, which ended up being right on time given a new round of hype falling exactly under the patterns this document notes.🧵 leidendeclaration.ai
Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
This declaration calls for action to address the challenges posed by the use of artificial intelligence within mathematics research.

I asked Gemini if it's more accurate to say that LLM's are sycophantic or obsequious, and it said that was one of the best questions it had ever been asked.

A 24x24 section of a decomposition of the infinite knight's graph into four 2-factors. The vertices are where eight "strands" meet at a point. If you zoom in, you'll see that each vertex has two yellow strands, two blue strands, two black strands, and two red strands.
Today I redesigned my website + started a blog :) sophie.huiberts.me/blog/2026/ha...
