Un long monologue de Terence Tao sur la productivit\u00e9 des mod\u00e8les de langage appliqu\u00e9e aux math\u00e9matiques.\nJe l'appr\u00e9cie beaucoup, car il a une certaine facult\u00e9 \u00e0 clarifier des sujets compliqu\u00e9s, que cela soit des math\u00e9matiques pointues ou ici son usage raisonn\u00e9 et \u00e9clair\u00e9 de mod\u00e8les de langage dans son travail de math\u00e9maticien.

I teach them what I know, they\u00a0teach me what they know and I become much broader as a result. When you're working with a collaborator that you've been working with for a long time, there's a point where you become almost mentally attuned.

You know that we'll be able to optimize everything that we can do with our current technology, but we may not actually develop really original\u00a0new ideas anymore. We will need to really have a much more open discussion about what basic science is and what is useful for, and why it's important to still have curiosity-driven research. Why we still need a community of humans to explore things sometimes slowly, sometimes, you know, in ways that are not as efficient as the latest model AIs and also\u00a0the insights that we gain.
