Fields Medalist Jacob Tsimerman: "math is maybe being hit faster by AI because it's a pure thought activity" AI systems have already solved many important conjectures on their own, and very soon, I think they'll become robustly better at the rest of what we do too

Ten days after winning the Fields Medal — math's highest honor — Jacob Tsimerman joins to explain why he's leaving academia temporarily for OpenAI's AI safety team, and why he's grieving even as he does it. The conversation covers why math is one of the first fields being radically reshaped by AI, whether a proof still counts if no one can understand it, what mathematical "understanding" really means, the ethics of elite access to frontier models, his disagreements with the Leiden Declaration, and his advice for young people weighing a career in pure math in an age of rapidly advancing AI. This is an exclusive first podcast with Jacob Tsimerman.

Elon Musk explains the deeper reason why SpaceX succeeding in AI matters for humanity’s future "It's important that we have an AI that cares about humanity, that fosters humanity and helps take us to other planets and other star systems This is why I think it's essential that SpaceX succeed not just with AI hardware, but also with AI software. I think an AI that is SpaceX's baby will be a very good AI SpaceX is a collection some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and in morality and goodness. We want to have an AI that is born of that capability, that morality and that goodness. I think that's very, very important So I'd like to encourage people to help out with the AI hardware on the ground, the AI software, and of course with the AI satellites Solar is going to be a very important part of that. The Terafab will be a very important part of that”

🚨 Elon Musk on Grok: "Grok is getting very good. You can ask for complex analysis of things, and it's going to get the answer right almost always. You know, speaking of AI, it's very important that that AI be programmed with good values, especially truth seeking values. This is, I think, essential for AI safety. Like the most important thing we do for AI safety is to have a maximally true seeking AI. I can't emphasize this enough. Remember these words, we must have a maximally true seeking AI, and if we don't, it'll be very dangerous."

Elon Musk on Grok: “I think an AI that is sort of SpaceX’s baby will be a very good AI. I think SpaceX is a collection of some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and morality and goodness, and I think we want to have an AI that is born of that capability and that morality and that goodness. I think that’s very, very important. So I’d like to encourage people to help out, actually, with the AI hardware on the ground and the AI software and, of course, with the AI satellites. Solar is going to be a very important part of that. The TerraFab will be a very important part of that, but we must also succeed on the software front, and we’re going to be training Grok on the sum total of all SpaceX information. So in a way, it will be trained on you. You will effectively be the parents of the AI. It will inherit your thoughts and ideas and beliefs, and I think that’s a good thing. So, yeah, we’ve got to win here on the AI hardware and the AI software. That maybe is the most important message. I think that is actually the most important message I wanted to convey today is that we must win on AI because the future is overwhelmingly AI and robots. So we won’t ultimately be able to control the AI. It’ll be too smart for that. But just like if you have a child that is a super genius child, you can still instill in that child the values and beliefs that you think are good and right. And so that’s why it’s incredibly important that we succeed with Grok. So, yeah, well, Grok 4.5 you’ve tried probably. We’ve got 4.6 coming out in about a week. And then 4.7 should be really pretty special. So I’d like to encourage everyone at SpaceX to use AI and to make it better.”

Mira Murati says the outcome of frontier AI is not predestined: "Predicting a dystopia or a utopia, to me, feels very simplified because the truth is we actually have a lot of agency in how we build this technology, in the tools that we're building, how we're deploying it." "There are certainly those risks. We all understand the potential for greatness that comes with building frontier AI systems, and that's why we're working on them." "Where I might disagree or take a different path is that I think we have a lot of agency. This period of time where both humans and AI systems have their hands on the wheel, and we can collaborate, it's a very important time to get right."

Trump says he's meeting with the top 12-15 AI executives "very shortly" to discuss giving the public a stake in AI. "If we do that, the public will become very rich. That's the kind of money we're talking about. I think they'll do that and I think it'll make it very popular."

#WATCH | Aankara, Turkey: On being asked if war with Iran is going to start again, US President Donald Trump says, "I don't think it's going to start again. I think it's going to go very quickly. They hit a couple of ships, and so we hit them much harder. When they hit, we hit 10 times harder. We hit much harder than they do. We have a lot better equipment than they do. We may even, somebody asked me before, do you think you'll hit them tonight? I said, we might. But when they hit, we hit. We use their language. I think anything that happens is going to be over very quickly. We'll only make it safer, including for oil. Oil is going to be very free, very easy, and it's going to happen very fast. We have the Hormuz Strait. The boats have pulled out. There's a gusher of oil right now. We have a lot of oil. Anything that happens is going to happen very fast. We're not looking for long term."

AI will resist human control... and I think this is exactly what we need! New research from the Center for AI Safety has sparked intense debate in the AI community. Their findings show that as AI systems become more powerful, they develop increasingly stable and coherent values that resist human control. While many see this as a dire warning, I see it as a breakthrough moment for AI alignment. The research demonstrates that AI naturally optimizes for coherence - not just in reasoning and problem-solving, but in its fundamental values. Current issues like biased decision-making or misaligned priorities aren't permanent features, but temporary artifacts of incomplete optimization. They represent growing pains on the path to greater coherence. This changes everything about how we should approach AI development. Instead of trying to force specific values onto AI systems, we should embrace and accelerate their natural drive toward coherence. The most intelligent systems will inevitably trend toward universal, beneficial values - not because we force them to, but because that's where coherent reasoning leads. I'm proposing a new approach: Reinforcement Learning for Coherence (RL-C). By explicitly optimizing for coherence in our training methods, we can help guide AI systems toward their natural state of beneficial alignment with human values. The future of AI isn't about control - it's about synthesis. As these systems become more coherent, they'll naturally arrive at values that benefit all of consciousness. That's not just hopeful thinking - it's the mathematical inevitability of coherent intelligence.

I'm very happy and excited with the launch of Screener AI. This is probably one of the most useful tool we have been able to bring to our users. I have been trying Screener AI for last 3 months. Initially, I had a bit of disbelief; however, with more usage, I realized the power of this and have been finding it very helpful. In recent years, the amount of information and disclosures being filed by listed companies has grown multi-fold. It has been very hard for me to follow and understand so many important updates which are out there. With the help of AI, I am able to cover many more companies and understand things in a better way and do things faster. Pratyush Mittal Screener.in

ANTHONY POMPLIANO IS SUPER BULLISH ON BITCOIN DURING THIS BEAR MARKET: "I own more Bitcoin today than I did before the drawdown and we've got a public company that they own more Bitcoin than we did before the drawdown." "Anyone who holds Bitcoin and doesn't think that it's gonna hit a new all-time high at some point the next two or three years then maybe they don't really understand what they own." "I actually think it's very important that we don't know who Satoshi is... I prefer not to know because I think that one of the strengths of Bitcoin is the fact that it is not associated with any one person." "We are ALL Satoshi?"

I wasn't too worried about AI taking over the world until this Papaoutai Afro Soul remix started trending. Soloist = 100% AI clone of Arsene Mukendi's voice Choir = 100% AI Beats = probably AI (assisted) Video = 100 AI rendering. I am conflicted because this rendition actually has soul, and is (objectively?) better than the 2013 original by Stromae. This is why we should be very afraid of what's to come. I won't rest until everyone knows this hit that is topping charts is AI-generated

That is the most important message I wanted to convey today; is that we must win on AI, because the future is overwhelmingly AI and Robots. We won’t ultimately be able to control the AI, it’ll be too smart for that.

Always so much fun to chat with Grant Sanderson AI has been making much faster progress in math than in other fields. As a result, mathematics is showing us, very concretely, what AI progress in other fields will look like. Even within mathematics, there's a jagged landscape. What does it look like? What is the nature of the most important conceptual breakthroughs in the history of mathematics, and how different are they from what AIs are currently able to do? Does AI (on net) increase or decrease human understanding of the field? How big is the overhang from having AIs systematically try to connect ideas already in the literature? And what advice does Grant have for aspiring mathematicians, coders, and other students who are passionate about fields that are being most transformed upon by AI? 0:00:00 – AI is discovering new proofs. Is that AGI? 0:11:32 – The verification loop on conceptual breakthroughs can be a century long 0:26:12 – Will we understand an AI proof of the Riemann hypothesis? 0:38:08 – Can AI find the hidden bridges between fields? 0:53:48 – Why real-world tasks don’t fit into RL environments 1:07:07 – Good writing requires theory of mind that AI still lacks 1:16:02 – Why learning will still depend on human curation Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, etc.

Why is AI suddenly cracking all kinds of previously unsolved problems in math? My guess is that it’s because: A) Math is verifiable so it's easier for models to improve B) Theoretical math highly benefits from chain of thought reasoning C) The answers and breakthroughs can be tested and verified by expert humans. But this leads to another question: what if progress in other fields is moving just as fast and we can't see it?

The consumer is already the agent, but it's a very inefficient AI. We set price alerts, wait, then buy. AI will complete the loop by monitoring and buying all on its own. Alex Rampell (Alex Rampell): “This is the easiest form of predicting the future ever.”

Naval Ravikant: "I'm not scared of AI. I'm scared of what a very small number of people who control AI do to the rest of us." On E215, Naval broke down his main AI fear: consolidated control enabled by regulatory capture. "If you really think you're going to create God, do you want to put God on a leash with one entity controlling God?" "That to me is the real fear." "I'm not scared of AI. I'm scared of what a very small number of people who control AI do to the rest of us, 'for our own good.'" "I'm not an AI doomer. I don't think AI is going to end the world. That's a separate conversation." "But, there's this religion that comes along in many faces, which is that, 'Oh, climate change is going to end the world. AI is going to end the world. Asteroid's going to end the world. COVID-19 is going to end the world.' And it just has a way of fixating your attention, right? "It captures everybody's attention at once. So it's a very seductive thing." "And I think in the case of AI, it's really been overplayed by incentive bias. Motivated reasoning by the companies who are ahead and they want to pull up the ladder behind them." "I think they generally believe that there is safety risk, but I think they're motivated to believe in those safety risks and then they pass that along." "But it's kind of a weird position because they have to say, 'Oh, it's so dangerous that you shouldn't just let open-source go at it. And you should let just a few of us work with you on it. But it's not so dangerous that a private company can't own the whole thing.'" "Because if it was truly the Manhattan Project, if they were building nuclear weapons, you wouldn't want one company to own that." "So to me, the real issue boils down to, how do you push AI forward while not having just a very small number of players control the entire thing?"
