Chollet François Chollet : [paraphrase] "using NNs for discrete problems i.e. finding new prime numbers - is a terrible idea" with Kevin Ellis Zenna Tavares

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares The manifold hypothesis may apply, to an extent, to algorithms that efficiently search for prime numbers

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares looking forward to this one! love the ideas behind dreamcoder!

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares Does this contradict the FrontierMath results in any way?

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares Totally agreed, let’s keep it prime

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares What is this from?

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares Unreleased episode

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares I think the problem is in trying to be reasonable about systems that can only hallucinate

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares yes, that's why o3 + a code interpreter is closer to a general intelligence than just o3 by itself

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares Matches with the fact that brains are not that great at finding primes

@fchollet @ellisk_kellis @ZennaTavares nobody ever said AGI would replace a calculator. intelligence benefit from and requires tools to be useful
