Questions about how we verify things and if the math is True? @ProfNoahGian and I got to chat with @TaliaRinger about Lean and formal verification on a @breakingmathpod Substack Exclusive interview. Check it out! breakingmath.substack.com/p/…

I spoke to @breakingmathpod back in the summer about formal proof, before all of these landmark results, and made the same points that mathematicians have been making all month. Hopefully the timing of this interview gives critics a credible source breakingmath.substack.com/p/…

When @neuraltheory ran D&D with Claude and Gemini as dungeon masters. Both remapped an entire world in ~30 seconds and also kept forgetting what the player character wasn't supposed to know. Check out the experiment and conversation with @ProfNoahGian: open.substack.com/pub/breaki…

Just days after appearing on @ezraklein's show to discuss Abundance, @MarcDunkelman recorded an episode of @breakingmathpod with me and @1autumn_leaf. Why would a math podcast bring on a public policy expert and political historian? Listen to find out--I don't think you'll be disappointed! youtube.com/watch?v=VdXpNM2i…

Check out our latest episode with @JuliaAngwin on why journalism should work more like a mathematical proof than a pile of quotes, her latest book "On Courage," and why she may be a mathematical dissident. breakingmath.substack.com/p/…

You might know @JuliaAngwin as a @nytopinion writer, or as a @PulitzerPrizes winning journalist, or as the coauthor of a recent book and viral @NewYorker essay on how to be a dissident. But did you know that she has a math degree and is the child of a math professor and is bringing ideas from math and science to save journalism? One of the most fun, interesting convos I've ever been part of, listen to our latest episode of @breakingmathpod with cohost @1autumn_leaf youtube.com/watch?v=8wfksiGY…

“The Credibility Crisis in #Science” is larger than we realize. Did you know that many papers are “accurate” but #data is inflated by ~20%? @1autumn_leaf and @ProfNoahGian spoke with Thomas Plümper and Eric Neumayer about this. @mitpress open.substack.com/pub/breaki…

Math will increasingly be about asking the right questions, finding the right definitions, deciding which results are most important, and finding powerful applications. Honestly, it’s always been about this, but burden of technical work may lessen with AI—and that’s great news!
