Terrence Tao is actually calling for significantly more compute hours of AI mathematics, yet is being misportrayed in this sub.

Summary

帖子指出，Terrence Tao 在加州理工的演讲被社区误读为反 AI，实际上他呼吁为 AI 数学研究投入更多算力，并鼓励对前沿模型进行更具创造性的应用。

Tao's Oct 9th Caltech talk was straw-manned as an anti-ai presentation in this sub, when further inspection of the slides shows clearly it is a call for significantly more compute hours (accelerate) of AI mathematics. The rest of slides which seem conveniently missing from this subreddit are calls for more creative applications of frontier models on top of what is already occurring. This is important because it seems that the overwhelming sentiment in this sub is that somehow Terrence Tao is a Luddite or something?
