We're hiring a Senior Operations Officer for the new David Potter Institute for Quantum Information and Spacetime @ucl in London! A varied role: seminars, visitors, launch events, workshops, website, and grant support. Please RT & spread the word! ucl.ac.uk/mathematical-p…
2027: the year of the Linux desktop.
If you haven't given Linux a go lately, try with agents. You can fix anything with a prompt now. Got a Dell XPS. Webcam wasn't working, told codex, it rebooted and now things work.
...to issues that other scientific and creative professions are facing, and indicate issues that all of humanity might face: how to make sure that, as AI changes the way work is done, we do not lose sight of what that work was meant to achieve in the first place."
In many fields and activities, years of training have traditionally served not only to produce a final answer or product, but also to develop understanding and the ability to formulate new questions and ideas.... The issues the mathematical community faces now are similar...
"We are witnessing a general threat to intellectual work, with misalignment between the outcome of the use of AI and its initial purpose. ... terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a-s…
You cannot be "Developing AI to benefit all of humanity" while burning a ton of compute to scoop two mathematicians for a press release. If this is what they do with the power they have today, imagine what they will do as they concentrate more of it.
In light of recent events, it's worth active opposition to these companies destroying math for the sake of advertising. Consider signing this statement against the so-called Mathathon, aimed to destroy interesting avenues of research and flood the research landscape with slop
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
@ThomasVanRiet2 Yes, but how much compute is spent trying to solve problems and failing? We only hear about the successes. Not to mention that the progress was very much human until OpenAI caught wind of the partial results.
@junyuliu4 @victorvalbert @OsborneTob3457 Great, feel free to post it in github.com/Open-Science-L…
Dani Loader, @OsborneTob3457 and I wrote up some of our LLM workflows: How to train your slop cannon: a short guide to using large language models for research in the natural sciences. Short summary at superposer.substack.com/p/how-to-train…, and available on github at github.com/Open-Science-L…
My first arXiv rejection! (This is not a complaint-I sympathise with the moderators.) “How to Train Your Slop Cannon”: 12 months of hard-won lessons on using LLMs in theoretical research. Learn from our mistakes without repeating them. github.com/Open-Science-L…
The proliferation of AI would be a lot easier to accept if we could actually see some benefits. What we’ve got: disappearing entry-level jobs. What we need: a 4-day week for all.
@ThomasVanRiet2 @StartsWithABang My 2 cents were already spent by @four_form
@StartsWithABang A classical, external gravitational field explains this measurement just fine
@HaoGeng19 @postquantum Here’s an interview and introduction: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dan…
In the meantime, some great news: We’ve been awarded a gift from the David and Elaine Potter Foundation, and in October, we will be launching the David Potter Institute for Quantum Information and Spacetime @ucl ucl.ac.uk/news/2026/aug/…, more info at ucl.ac.uk/mathematical-p…
The path-integral formulation of the Postquantum theory of classical gravity is now in Physical Review X! Other results from our group have been published at the same time, so this is a good opportunity to review progress. superposer.substack.com/p/postquantum-… 1/2
I don’t think it is rational for anyone to be doing capabilities research at a frontier lab right now. We are not in a Prisoners Dilemma: the situation is very dangerous, and if one person or lab stops it makes it easier and more peer-compatible for other people or labs to stop.
I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
A lot has been said about the OpenAI 1 August maths drop. In particular I keep seeing commentators calling the results Fields Medal worthy. Honestly, I am a bit surprised that some feel qualified to award the medal so readily. (Let me explain)
