Couldn't stop myself from commenting (politely but critically) on an "AI could do anybody's dissertation in 30 min" post on linkedin, only for the author to reply and immediately like his own comment. Sorry, but AI has "done" what, 2 math problems? Matrix multiplication and Erdos distance? 🙄💅🏻

Sorry, using stolen dead labor to replace my own labor and deskill myself morally and intellectually in the process goes against my religious beliefs. Can I just write the code myself?

I started a painting of Rocky in a field of dandelions because I felt it needed to exist 🥹. Finishing it today as long as my wrist cooperates! #ProjectHailMary

I found this neat tool that lets you generate text and images just from your ideas. It's really good!

My 7-year-old made her first Cayley graph and Cayley table today! And she LOVED it! At 9pm, she was too excited to go to sleep…”but I just want to do more algebra!” 🥰 #MathSky #VisualAlgebra

"Products from OpenAI and Anthropic are built to ingratiate and coddle losers while creating work-shaped outputs that are good enough to impress braindead executives, imbeciles and middle management hall monitors that don’t do any real work" - oh my that is a satisfying read

I would fly this on a flag outside my house.

I felt like I was having one too! Kept hearing what I thought was tRump continue to talk when his turn was over. Auditory hallucination...it wasn't of course. Jill Biden Believed Husband Was Having Stroke During Presidential Debate — theonion.com/jill-biden-b...

Pressure is a great movie. #PressureFilm Weather here changed a lot from time movie started to finish. About to cross a street, waved a car to turn while I waited. Me - go ahead I'm pondering. Driver - so are we Me - you just see Pressure too? Driver - yep en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressur...

The filmmakers of 1958 Disney documentary "White Wilderness" imported lemmings to a location in Canada & forced them over a cliff, creating an enduring myth of lemmings driven to suicide. But the Norway lemming (Lemmus lemmus) has a new take on that myth: They go Viking BESERKER.

I hate this attitude of skill as a gate to be kept. You don’t have to be the fastest gun in the west. I’m a mathematics professor and there is an enormous amount of math I don’t understand. This is about any skill, not just math. I’m not the best bass player ever but I’m a perfectly capable sideman.

I bought myself a balloon, a fancy frozen pizza, and some new cider/mead to try in celebration of selling & shipping my art to all 50 US states. Yay science + art!

I was wondering what the logistics would be on out of state arrests - “Minnesota BCA ... located Mr. Castro\traveled to Texas... “He was arrested by DHS...Inspector General agents and Texas Rangers with the BCA investigators present at the scene.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

Oh shoot. I accidentally unfolded a 600-cell. Can any four-dimensional entities help me put it back together?

I have never done as little as Congress under the guise of “work,” and I play the bass.

About 40 minutes east of Baton Rouge, LA, in the humid pine forests, is a tiny research facility that is essentially two laser paths, each 2.5 miles (4 km) long & at right angles. There's an IDENTICAL facility in the high deserts of remote eastern Washington. Let's learn about LIGO.

if any AI bro tries to claim to you (as they very often do generally) that we don't understand these models, remember: they are creating a false narrative even, especially, under scientific meanings of terms like "understanding"

The Space Shuttle could hold a flying laboratory called Spacelab in its cargo bay. Three French-made computers ran Spacelab. I opened up a Spacelab computer and found that instead of a microprocessor, it is built from a multitude of simple chips. Let's take a closer look at the computer...

"Math is not just a list of problems to be solved. We’ve done a great job in teaching generations of high school students quite the opposite of this, unfortunately."

This fills me with determination as a math communicator. Everyone must learn the math of EMERGENT COMPLEXITY. "AI agents have been heralded as the next big leap in the technology as they can reason..." - no, no, NO, they really can't! And playgameoflife.com isn't really life. 😸 #iTeachMath #MathSky

I find it surprising that nobody seems to be comparing OpenAI's progress on the Erdős distance problem with Aubrey de Grey's 2018 progress on the Hadwiger-Nelson problem. Both are about plane unit distance graphs, and I think they are very comparable in many respects. 🧵⤵️ •1/16
