Title: The Mathematics That Breaks the Biggest Myths About AI
In recent days, HackerNoon has shared an enlightening article titled "The Mathematics That Breaks the Biggest Myths About AI" by Joseph Crespo. The article delves into AI design generators and their tendency to omit crucial code, often leaving users unaware. It highlights the real reasons behind AI companies' cautious approach, which lies not in safety concerns but rather in the scarcity of high-quality, human-generated public text.
Crespo also shares his personal experience using AI to trace 12 generations of his family tree, amassing over 600 individuals and reconstructing 12 generations in certain branches within less than a month's time. The piece further explores recursive self-improvement and agentic AI, including the AI singularity debate. It discusses OpenAI security incidents and Anthropic's safety concerns in this context.
The author emphasizes that AI is scaling the wrong mathematics, and geometry, symmetry, topology, and hyperbolic space can expose the biggest myths surrounding modern AI. The article concludes by discussing AI coding tips, encouraging readers to audit their AGENTS.md and skills regularly to avoid paying context rent on outdated rules.
