AI Breakthroughs May Not Require Human Genius, Analysis Argues
#980Lisan al Gaib@SCALING01What's the largest conceptual scientific leap humans have ever taken?
Most scientific "breakthroughs" don't seem that crazy once you look closer. I'm dead serious.
Name something that a sufficiently advanced and scaled up reasoning model couldn't find by searching and combining existing knowledge, considering counterfactuals and hypotheticals, by using analogies, or simply by applying existing rules of mathematics and logic.
Imaginary numbers? Literal mathematical necessity.
Zero? Mathematical necessity and the concept of nothing also appears naturally.
Calculus? find out in the article :P

literally consider all the major breakthroughs. Look on what foundations it was built and try to imagine how someone could have had the brilliant unifying idea
Could a million copies of a reasoning model come up with that?
If your list even contains a few major breakthroughs, maybe science isn't so special after all
