This seems to be another example where just having a solution (in this case: a model with predictive power) would not be the entire story and what you suggest (resolving the same problem in another way) would have paid off nicely. 2026-09-07T18:46:34Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsx6fzq3mfl0g4kdfp8469380wa7wj9lx8cau24qtdgnygc0k24uyqzyrwdy3mm2tuyn4trj749e90fy3mwmd5l6nky60mrzjrzx0gk6yusym7zgcd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0xvc6fqvkrexhp6vlufpcq3us5hstnqxurhltam6pt4wsedj5h5sz45230'>nevent1q…5230</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Breaking up US AI labs right now would probably realistically mean they are turned over to US government control, which I am afraid would be significantly worse, given the current government.<br/><br/>I think one of the best things to happen in this context would be a European frontier open source model, preferably not run by a company but by some EU research institution --- providing a welcome counterweight.<br/><br/>But I am disheartened by the failure of Mistral (which is a company, but at least located in France) to compete at the level of OpenAI or Anthropic, while Chinese models are catching up. 2026-08-26T10:51:24Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9dp0tgpmsydl0r3exqlvv9ukdc8lss3dtmpvxcedlnarhx07yl5qzyrwdy3mm2tuyn4trj749e90fy3mwmd5l6nky60mrzjrzx0gk6yusyvpw7w6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgrlrdlpc3zya02q04tqshturzgg3uc57a9480ttsdx4wmnw3acsc4zexkj'>nevent1q…exkj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;we&#39;ll need to decide between keeping math human and letting math go its own way&#34; -- I never thought of it in this sense yet, but &#39;letting math go its own way&#39; is a very interesting notion! (of course, the path taken will not be intrinsic to math, but depend to se degree on the judgement and preferences of the AI models, just like now it depends on the judgement and preferences of human mathematicians).

In the end, it will be the readers (rather than the platform) that have to make up their mind. Maybe they will go even more than before by name recognition and reputation if the vast majority of submissions become noise. 2026-02-22T13:46:25Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsw5npl8d3tkssyrem0yw4zxh8vhgtw7m0ch78gfa6pwhy7hk5h0ngzyrwdy3mm2tuyn4trj749e90fy3mwmd5l6nky60mrzjrzx0gk6yusyylfpfw Today I am returning from my scouting trip to the island of #Helgoland , where we will be organizing our conference 100 Years of Quantum Mechanics in June. The island in the North Sea is a beautiful spot! The ferry ride from Hamburg takes almost four hours. We are looking forward to a distinguished set of invited participants (see below). We will also be recording, for those who cannot be there.<br/><br/>#Quantum<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub175xsznlyjc5nqvurkwf6wtjugnl8gmlajyerg72g0dsz9hmdlz2qq2tk6n" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Max-Planck-Gesellschaft</span> (<span class="italic">npub175x…tk6n</span>)</a></span> <br/>[@MPI_ScienceOfLight](<a href="https://wisskomm.social/@MPI_ScienceOfLight">https://wisskomm.social/@MPI_ScienceOfLight</a> ) <br/><br/><a href="https://helgoland2025.yalepages.org">https://helgoland2025.yalepages.org</a><br/> <img src="https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/290/309/750/397/291/original/3c57ba37f35ebe25.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/290/309/759/213/937/original/8abed84d5fe99841.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-04-06T09:35:07Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0j9pgtl3qlvvc0aa4qlzlwaflmuvy4dwptvc4hysg5p58kal4r8czyrwdy3mm2tuyn4trj749e90fy3mwmd5l6nky60mrzjrzx0gk6yusym7jh55 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdhp2tzf73ka79kwuazmqmdejnz6xq9vw2su8aflztv0l4dm9f8zs6vzhp2'>nevent1q…zhp2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In simple terms, how should I think of a Safeguarded AI system and the role of category theory in developing it? 2025-02-19T22:00:34Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0dte5rfley2wfesradf6j42uk5kw9lq5ffnsy8pmmta3wwg208sqzyrwdy3mm2tuyn4trj749e90fy3mwmd5l6nky60mrzjrzx0gk6yusy0epwfg Today I gave an interview to #Deutschlandfunk German radio #DLF about why I signed the call <br/><br/>&#34;Declaration To Defend Research Against U.S. Government Censorship&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cC6Vu_CAtgxSck8S9be_hmzSu-w2DsaJ02Nw5oeayAg/edit?tab=t.0">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cC6Vu_CAtgxSck8S9be_hmzSu-w2DsaJ02Nw5oeayAg/edit?tab=t.0</a><br/><br/>The interview probably/possibly airs tomorrow (Wednesday).<br/><br/>#DefendResearch 2025-02-18T18:40:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf3h0hd7xr7wh8530sfhs7w7unf9pf3sjsma9vewtwq9r5n6v5jqczyrwdy3mm2tuyn4trj749e90fy3mwmd5l6nky60mrzjrzx0gk6yusyuzn3tz Please share: Our Max Planck Institute recently left X and is present here on Mastodon.
