Terence Tao just told me the most valuable skill in an AI world isn't knowing the answer — it's knowing when the machine is lying to you. 📬 Full transcript + Monday M.A.G.I.C. Message → briankeating.com/yt Got a .edu email address and live in the USA? I'll send you a meteorite - briankeating,com/edu The 3 moments worth rewatching: ▸ [01:20] — When the AI answer looks right but isn't ▸ [04:10] — "The world is infinitely more complex than we understand" ▸ [07:00] — The skill that replaces memorization Question for you: If AI can ace any exam, should universities still grade on correct answers — or switch entirely to testing the reasoning process?
*AI:* "I'm sorry, *Doug* . ... I'm afraid I can't do that."
A whole new system will be needed in the near future. That’s for sure. What that system will be, depends entirely on how things pan out.
Successful intelligence(Sternberg) is a combination of Analytical, Creative, and Practical Intelligence. As a craftsman, first I attended Engineering at a major university. I excelled in football and earned co-MVP on Defense. Some of my teammates played professional football, so the public would believe they were superior than MVP. 😅 After decades..... it has been interesting what my Elite customers have told me about education, intelligence, and life in general. I have always been a sincerely curious person. Sadly, I find most are stuck in systems that are soon replacing them.
I love the fact that TT is trying to solve the problem, and genuinely wants to help shape the future direction of Mathematics and teaching. All whilst he must be so time crunched and, naturally want to work on his own research problems.
I kept waiting to hear about advanced teaching methods. I just got tired of waiting.
Not just cell phones, but we can't even allow them to use their laptops our district paid for. This means we can't use online tutorials or graphing programs like Desmos, at least for anything we're grading. If we want kids actually learning math, we're back to pencil paper and calculators.
I was interested in analogues of the chain rule for holder continuous fonctions, and I stumbled on a recommandation of Terence Tao, about a book by Michael Taylor, on pseudo-differential operators, which essentially answered my questions.
Thank you for this conversation 🙏
In training AI in math you have to be very patient (with the current models and coding). Most academicians do not want to proceed with trying after they get nonsense answers. You have to call out the craziness and redress those specific points (call it lying or nonsense) When it succeeds, as crazy as it seems you should reinforce its accomplishment . It is somewhat like a child.
