A world without open problems Here are some that fell today: K-server: arxiv.org/abs/2609.15979 Matroid Secretary: arxiv.org/abs/2609.14555… Matrix Spencer: arxiv.org/abs/2609.15025 (Well Matrix Spencer was maybe also a few weeks ago, but who's counting? arxiv.org/abs/2608.28816 )

We are clearly moving to a world that will be without open problems, but this doesn't mean math is going away. Interesting work will correspond to discovering new questions and coherent theoretical frameworks. Well defined agreed-to-be-interesting problems won't last long.

I think this is a very difficult pill for many scientists and engineers to swallow: intelligence is not the biggest bottleneck in most of the world’s problems.

@alirezaqwezxc مرسی. این تلاشش برای قرار دادن همه چیز توی موسیقیش از صدای شیپور‌های ضعیف و آروم تا تبدیل یه ریتم تکرار شونده به یه مارش وحشتناک جالبه(الان که گوش می‌دم یادم اومد بخشایی از یک رو هم شنیده‌م) انگار واقعا شوخی داره بعضی جاها:)

@teriantropio @AVAmirVA *things happening constantly* wb

@alirezaqwezxc راستش دو تلاش برای مالر کردم ولی به دلم ننشست(انتخاب‌های اشتباهی هم بود واقعا سمفونی هفت و هشت). می‌دونم تو مالر فنی پیشنهادت چیه؟ هنوز نه و شش رو گوش ندادم البته.

MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students. A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet. Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle. The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable. The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust. Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates. The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output. The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.

@kierkegaarddr طبیعیه چون رسیدن از یه موضع معرفت‌شناسانه به موضع هستی‌شناسانه نیازمند لحاظ کردن فرض‌های بیشتریه.

WIRED reported today that I began to cry while talking about AI and mathematics. But the article didn’t explain what moved me. The truth is, I’m not entirely sure myself. I’d like to try to explain. 🧵 wired.com/story/mathemat…

People think I am against continental philosophy. I'm not. I believe continental philosophy should be safe, legal, and rare.

@Rythian47 He’s just not wrong.

@thethsemicolon موضعش از بعد لایدن خیلی واضحه.

@seyed_frog درسته نکته اینه که دغدغه‌های واقعی جامعه ریاضی وقتی اینطوری(با رویکرد محافظه‌کارانه) بیان می‌شن مخاطب غیر فنی رو بیشتر گمراه می‌کنن و توی جامعه فنی هم واقعا دیگه گفتن نداره.

dice Alain Connes recepient of Fields Medal, Crafoord Prize, CNRS Gold Medal & Ampère Prize. "To work in mathematics, we need to always have a mental image in mind. When we get help from Artificial Intelligence, the enormous danger, which is now present everywhere, is the danger of not allowing time for the brain to create this mental image. "In fact, it is not just about time, it is about effort. That is to say, if we get a result without effort, and if we trust Artificial Intelligence, there are two dangers. The first danger, of course, is that it is false, and this happens quite often. But the second danger is much worse. The second danger is to no longer follow the reasoning with your mental image, and, as a result of this, the brain finally decides that it is not worth the effort, since Artificial Intelligence does the work. And so something very subtle happens, and the brain abandons its own governance, and will no longer believe in things unless they are certified by Artificial Intelligence."

متاسفانه این شرایط اجتناب‌ناپذیره. با بیانیه دادن هم قابل حل نیست.

تقریبا تمام نکاتی که توی بیانیه بهش پرداخته می‌شه نکات درستیه ولی سوال اصلی اینه که فایده زدن این حرفا چیه جز نشون دادن هسته سخت و تغییرناپذیر جامعه ریاضی؟ (در غلط بودن رویکرد شرکت‌های بزرگ AI شکی نیست)

I found this an interesting read, even if I reserve judgment about some of its conclusions. aiguide.substack.com/p/misleading-m…
