Francis Schaeffer's Four Questions:
1. Why is there something instead of nothing?
2. Why is that "something" orderly?
3. Why is man personal?
4. Why is man in a moral dilemma (i.e. knows what is "good" but feels unable to attain it)?

不想传播焦虑,但这次我无话可说。
今年科学界最大的新闻,没有之一。OpenAI 的内部 AI 模型自己做出了三个科学难题的成果。我用我自己的理解说一下。
第一,Kakeya 猜想。这个问题研究波聚焦时会怎样。原来的猜想我记得是说最极端的聚焦只会持续很短时间。人类以前只在低维度证明过,OpenAI 说它的模型证明了所有维度的情况,因此顺带解决了 Kakeya 猜想和 Stein 限制猜想。纯逆天。
第二,指数时间假说 ETH 被推翻。这个太难以置信了。ETH 好像是说有一类逻辑难题不可能被比暴力穷举快很多地解决。而之前学界普遍相信它成立,几百篇论文都以它为前提,现在 AI 却证明它是错的。
这个太他喵逆天了,因为我之前是研究过一段时间理论计算机的。这几十年ETH几乎被当成公理在用。很多论文的结论都写成假设 ETH 成立,那么某某问题不可能在多少时间内解决。现在地基没了,这些不可能,全都要打问号。
最让我感觉匪夷所思的是 AI 证明的方式。据 Lean 证明的说明文档,它给出的是一个确定性算法,应该是对固定宽度的 k-CNF 公式,它能在亚指数时间、多项式空间内精确数出所有满足的赋值。但是,懂行的人应该都知道“数出有多少个解”通常比“判断有没有解”难得多,它连更难的那个都做到了,所以 ETH 只是顺带被推翻。
第三,杨-米尔斯、量子色动力学。AI 应该是给出了一套严格的数学证明,证明描述强核力的理论在数学上确实成立,其中包括纯杨-米尔斯理论的存在性,这是千禧年七大难题之一的一部分。我不太了解,但是只是知道一些浅层的理论,就不评论了。
最让我恐惧和惊骇的是第二个。今天晚上我看了又看,感觉这是地震级别。如果最终确认无误,这会是 AI 第一次独立推翻一个被广泛相信的核心猜想。说它是一个时代的分界点,也毫不夸张。
如果这三个都核查通过,这代表 AI 第一次在多个顶尖领域独立解决了几十年没人能解决的难题,影响史无前例。

Absolutely insane and exciting breakthrough. Tons of papers work with ETH as their assumption. So many things will need to be rethought. Amazing.
(At this pace, they're going to prove P=NP by the end of the year!)
Here's a direct link to OpenAI's PDF claiming a refutation of ETH. In particular, it's claimed that 3SAT on n variables is in about exp(n/(log n)^{1/2+o(1)}) time

Replying to @Suhail
I’ve heard several OAI people say there are unfixable bugs in hardware that are exploitable by AI models directly speaking machine code so even if we could solve software that’s not enough. We need defense to move faster than offense if that’s even possible we may just have a new normal that requires adapting to insecure software (bank transfers require going into a branch and taking a dna test 🤣😬)
Crazy stuff. Pick your family passphrases now (offline) for verifying each other.

OK I think this is actually a valid reason to not give a reset, awesome
Call this "AI slop". I dare you.
The funnest part about making games with AI is the quick iteration after you've landed on a vision and created your own tailor made engine.
After my post went semi-viral this weekend I created 50 new map elements, a custom map creator, a marble designer studio, and a whole extra game mode ...all from the couch on my phone while watching the Pats

One time I was at a conference where you could sign up for an hour of mentoring. And I heard one time there was a mix-up where two mentors were assigned to the same table. I imagine it went something like this. 😂
