Chosing to stop sharing unfinished research for fear it'll be solved sooner by something else is bad actually.
Human progress is of benefit to all.
陶哲轩担心的事，真的发生了。😕
一位数学家在 YouTube 上讲了自己还没解开的问题。
一周后，一个毫无相关背景的陌生人发邮件给他：
“我用 AI 帮你解出来了。”
他是 Heriot-Watt 大学的 Francesco Fournier-Facio。他的决定是，以后不再公开讲没做完的研究。
“这很可悲，但对青年学者来说，这就是现实。”

Bro hacking the freezers to melt soldiers ice cream is diabolical
BREAKING: The Pentagon is investigating a suspected cyberattack after freezers at 6 US military bases mysteriously heated up overnight, per Reuters.
At Fort Huachuca in Arizona, the freezer went into defrost mode where it heated up all the food.
By morning, large amounts of food had wilted or melted.
The Army's cyber investigators and US Cyber Command are now working on the case.
Investigators are also talking to France, where hackers broke into commercial freezers at more than 350 supermarkets earlier this month. Some of those units caught fire.
It comes just few days after the Pentagon ordered every major US military base to prepare to run for at least 90 days without outside electricity, fuel, water or supplies, in case of a major war.

The point is that, something we took for granted but we're unable to prove, we were wrong on.
Many other problems we thought were closed now need reassessment
Even the best 3SAT algorithms still need 10^116 operations for n=1000 variables. There, the new OpenAI bound becomes marginally better at 10^114. At exascale (10^18 ops/s) that is still 10^90 years, compared to universe’s age of about 10^10 years.

I like the analogy of all these CVEs being holes in the boat that we're only now discovering.
AI didn't introduce these, it shined the light on what we've all been ignoring.

We may end up where no one is sharing their code and everyone is just reverse engineering eachothers code ?

So now that my LLM had encoded every open source library on earth. Why would I use a library?
Why would anyone make new libraries ?

Code is bad but understand how these models work and the economic incentive argument breaks down.
Next year this won't be a problem
This is a perfect example of the type of change AI will happily make.
It does literally nothing and makes the code worse.
Sneaking into codebases 100000x / day, using magnitudes more tokens.
"But look how many PRs I'm merging!" 😒
