If OpenAI refuses to engage the mathematical community in good faith, I see absolutely no reason why the mathematical community should engage with their slop. Ignore it.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”
Dr Dean Burnett@drdeanburnett.bsky.social · yesterday"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

there is no meaningful political opposition to the genocide among israelis, there is not a liberal political solution to this. they are not going to vote to stop being a genocidal apartheid state, pressure needs to be put on them from outside just as it was in south africa and rhodesia.
From a certain point of view, eating meat is just really, really inefficient vegetarianism.
When you’ve lost a double Ballon d’Or winner and the best center back in women’s football, your three-time Ballon d’Or winner is not fully fit, and you’re fielding Barça B as starters, it’s just another day at the office for the best team in women’s football. ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Watching extended highlights of Barça Femeni’s 7-nil demolition of Real Madrid last night and it became apparent just how much of the blaugranas’ success was due to preternatural passing by Patri Guijarro. Amazing.
El País English is remarkably reliable, solid news reporting.

If Barça Femeni keep steamrolling their league nearest rival like this, they should seriously consider putting Laia Aleixandri on at halftime and let her play in crutches.
Laziness is a human weakness that cuts across all demographic lines, including intellect and achievement, but passing off AI-generated work as your own rises to another level: intellectual fraud. Plagiarism used to be the intellectual vice we worried about. Now it’s machine-enabled fraud.
Shannon Vallor@shannonvallor.bsky.social · 3d agoWhat kills me is that it's no longer Internet randos using AI to cosplay as philosophers, historians or scientists. It's established philosophers, historians and scientists surrendering their hard-won intellectual agency and integrity in a rapid cascade, faster than even my darkest prediction. 1/1

this kind of chart doubles down on the dumb in “social science” and economics. the dumb comes from lossily compressing complex phenomena into rankable scalars, then using arithmetic and ranking to launder claims into “scientific” truths. 1/
