    Remember when we did that in the U.S.? Made our scientists rockstars? Ignore me at your peril billionaires: We *MUST* cut our own scientists into “the upside” that they created. “Capitalists” are giving the golden goose to Communists in China. This is madness. Mark my words.

    In spring 1985, physicist Edward Witten gave a lecture at Princeton about a new theory of the universe based on superstrings. The hall was full, but most people found the mathematics difficult to understand. After the lecture, the audience had many questions: What exactly is a

    The current claim of an honest integrable complex structure on "almost complex" S^6 = G_2/SU(3)...will be the first MAJOR result in an area to which I am somewhat close. Again, it's really a counter example to the conjecture that there is no way of 'ironing out' the almost

    Replying to @ericweinstein
    Almost all of these AI counterexamples are in subfields far away from where I have any intuition. So I don't have a great feel yet for what this all means. But in my experience, a justly famous structural conjecture in a central field of pure mathematics is like a missing puzzle
