Still the things that are already in place are truly disruptive. What about programming education ? Are all non-professional websites going to look like that Claude/ChatGPT template? Is coding going to homogenize due to the proclivity to efficiency? are we going to be overall less creative?

All of these are good questions I think none have the answer. Also keep in mind that more breakthroughs might also come, I think we actually might be closer than anyone think to truly creative AI. I mean to some extent science has similar marginal cost properties. Since fundamentally is only ideas.

I’ll be interested in your opinion on this @tomnicholas.bsky.social

This really makes me think that revolutions that require social change can be realised incredibly quickly. It’s all about creating the right institution. This makes me think that Kevin Buzzard is in fact a Great Founder. His social technology will be felt in centuries.

A fun anecdote is that in 2017 I read this post from 2014. @science4all.org claimed that formalised math is something that will take a century. It only took 10 years… Moreover it is about to be revolutionised by AI. So it is already further from what he expected!

This was clear to me after watching the 2019 Microsoft Research talk by Kevin Buzzard. He is an incredible part of this story. Him alone probably accelerated this transition a decade or two. However a lot of work was done beforehand, COQ, Univalent Foundations,…

It is not clear to me that any of the current projects they are working Fusion, Superconductivity, and Navier Stokes is a low hanging fruit of the current AI paradigm. Because I think if they were, they would have solved them already. They 'have' shown progress, but how far are they really ???

After watching the Thinking Game documentary, I can see how Google and Deepmind are in deep trouble. They missed the LLM moment, and now they face fierce competition in every AI front, not only for products, but also for science. One could say that they are working on long-term projects, but...

I’m certain that there is something to it, a lot of my thoughts for the last 4 years are merged there. But I still need to properly write it and check if things actually hold together. I have a hunch that it wasn’t a fever dream…

I thought strongly about novelty search and how to apply it to my current work in open endedness in cellular automata. After a lot of good ideas I constructed a proof of the possibility of infinite scalability in the universe. Just like Poincaré I wrote it crystallised in a piece of paper.

Of course there are exceptions to all of these, however the more the person is immersed in the system, the less of an exception they will be. Also, there are outliers, but honestly, probably none of this applies to them, so who cares. A truly remarkable individual will make his own journey anyways…

The reason for this phenomenon is that probably the 30something has something missing and that something is not easy to fix. Whereas the 20something has a higher chance of having that something easy to fix. It is a bit heartbreaking, but the world is harsh.

At your 20s you are mostly potential and people will take risk by taking you, but at 30 if you have not shown any accomplishment, the risk is a lot larger, and the return is unknown. Compare this to a similar profile with modest accomplishments or even a 20something with your exact same profile.

As a minimum, you gain discipline and work ethic, which is essential in the future. By the time you hit 30, things get a lot more murky, because you have enough data points in your CV for people to figure out your capabilities. And this is why people will treat you differently from where you are 20…
