Mathematicians aren't going to lose their jobs because of AI. Nor their prestige. Nor the fun of finding things out.
The only thing they'll lose is their chance to be heroes.

New draft!
We develop a technique for safely delegating to a strategic AI that may be misaligned with your objectives—without assuming you can restrict its choices, punish it, or otherwise control it once deployed.
How? Sequential information design with imperfect recall. 🧵
@Julius_Ktxt Frage zur angeblich afd-nahen Altersgruppe 16-24: Diese Altersgruppe ist ja sehr mobil, Wegzug fürs Studium, Job und co.
Könnte der hohe Afd-Stimmenanteil in dieser Gruppe daran liegen, dass die jungen Nicht-Afd-Wähler weggezogen sind, bspw. Berlin oder Westen?
@tobyordoxford One pot. approach:
Model a space where certain physical laws apply. Within this, see which randomizations accomplish specific goals, like attacking cancer cells or discovering novel ways to build something.
(There may be computational constrains though)
@tobyordoxford Moving into new dimensions, beyond the subspace, might not be too hard (like evolution, one can always randomize). But evaluating randomizations' quality is very hard then...
Two takeaways:
1. The collapse of keystone species can have enormous consequences - preservation can have huge human and economic benefits!
2. Diversity in Econ matters! As a kid, author witnessed the decline of vulture pop. himself. No one else could have come up w. this!
Half a Million Deaths - a study in the AER shows how the near extinction of vultures in India lead to a humanitarian disaster.
Key mechanism: Rotting livestock carcasses, no longer picked to the bones by vultures, polluted waterways - a huge negative sanitation shock.
