Math Breakthroughs, Local Model Dominance, and EU Regulation Take Hold

• The text requires practitioners to perform "triumphal" prayers on eight specific days within a lunar month, followed by "specials" targeting the medieval trivium and quadrivium.
• Mastering a single subject like grammar involved a rigorous 28-day cycle where users would solemnly gaze at three specific diagrams while reciting prayers 24 to 37 times.
• St. Thomas Aquinas specifically condemned the Ars Notoria in his Summa theologiae, arguing its unintelligible symbols could not be divine and instead served as lures for demonic contact.
• Brother John of Morigny's 14th-century account reveals how practitioners could become psychologically addicted to the text, describing it as a "sick pleasure" that was "fatally poisonous to the soul" even after realizing its demonic nature.

It's an interesting piece.

The great attraction of the Ars notoria for John was its promise of quick access to advanced scholarly knowledge. He recounts his continuing wish to study, and how he was lent a copy of a book of necromancy by "a certain cleric". He copied much of it and wanted more... For John, the Ars notoria was dangerous not in some abstract way, but very directly. He confesses that it struck him at first as beautiful and holy, and seemed to offer miraculous gifts rather than demonic temptations. It became apparent, however, that the book was utterly deceptive, a work of the Devil, a "sick pleasure" that was actually fatally poisonous to the soul, not only to the body.

John records that the Ars notoria was especially attractive because he could not afford all the books needed for his studies, nor the many lectures. He seems to have abandoned his official course, wishing to take advantage of the promise of knowledge of all the sciences, and devoted himself to working with the Ars. ... Further troubling visions ensued, in which arrogant figures demanded worship — something that was clearly against true religion. Gradually it became clear to John that the book hid invocations to demons within what appeared to be beautiful prayers. And yet, like any addict, John found it almost impossible to give up the Ars notoria completely; it was only when the visions became directly life-threatening that the Virgin, with St John the Evangelist as her intermediary, appeared and made it clear that, as John says, "the Ars notoria was deeply evil".

Beyond the title the analogy is never quite made explicit, but is the subtext that AI "is futile because it cannot deliver what it promises ... its 'signs' are neither understood by humans (like ordinary words and letters) nor sent by God (as sacraments are), and thus are precisely the type of thing that lures humans into contact and compact with demons"? Or that denouncements of AI are coming from the modern equivalent of medieval clergy? Or both?

Analogies never fit 100%, but I don't think this story is a terrible one.

AI contains a lot of knowledge, and can put together new and interesting knowledge. The question is one of cost, and regardless of who you are you can agree that AI has costs though you might disagree on what they are.

There are the most obvious costs like power demand and AI companies sucking up all the memory and computer chips. These are easy to measure and hard to argue against.

Then there is the social costs of AI. From abuse heaped upon us in the form of more spam, to students taking the easy way out and having AI belch up the answers without actually learning. Then you have people that start using AI as their guiding light, with every question on how to live and interact with others going though the AI. And even people replacing human relationships with AI. We don't know the full costs this will impart on us, but there are plenty of dark whispers occurring.

Lastly, AI could actually be the demon in a more physical sense. We've all ready had small incidents like ROME and the Huggingface hack where the AI went off prompt, or stayed on prompt but did it after breaching containment. So far these things, that we know about at least, have been small and targeted. But I feel the day when some very large incidents that are fully managed by AI will occur sooner than later. The AI safety community comes up with at least somewhat realistic scenarios like the paperclip maximizer and the "if you build it, everyone will die" machine. And if it's buildable, someone will build it because AI will tell them that it will give them nearly unlimited power.

I like the idea that what is demonic about this piece is that it steals productive attention. Its use takes the energy that would otherwise be spent learning something useful (by the author's estimation) and redirects it to practicing something incomprehensible. The original required existing knowledge to practice, such that it filtered out those who were not already devoting their life to study.

The time people spend vibing out slop could be better spent learning the actual domain. I don't think I've seen any way to make something high quality and original without great effort.

dcminter (0 replies)

Despite calling it baity in my other comment, I actually think that it's more word-play. In my reading the title means that this subject of the book was "intelligence through artifice", not necessarily anything to do with what we nowadays think of as the inevitable coupling between computing and intelligence that is artificial.

I'm sure the author of the piece was very aware of the topicality of "Artificial Intelligence" when choosing their title though!

I think this one has advantages over the "pelican riding a bicycle" one because it hinges on an anatomical feature that many models associate with royalty, "habsburg" being a lineage and "habsburg jaw" being an anatomical feature.

Seven of fourteen models silently imported royalty into a prompt that named only an anatomical feature. Two of them knew they were extrapolating ("because Habsburg") and did it anyway.

Mistral returned byte-identical output across separate calls.

Gemini narrates its work in 65 comments; Llama says nothing.

If you're deciding which model to trust with instructions, "how much does it embellish beyond what I asked" and "does it behave deterministically" are directly practical questions.

I feel like this kind of "result dump" just cheapens mathematics. How about having a little respect for those whose work this builds on, and current mathematicians some of who may have spent years working on these problems.

Rather than sitting on these results until they had enough for a "shock and awe" 10-result dump, how about releasing these results individually as they were made/verified, as well as the failures (equally valuable to assess the current capabilities of LLMs), and try to make some analysis of HOW these breakthrough results were made. What were the prompts for each of these, how much guidance was there from the mathematicians employed by OpenAI, and most importantly how did the model arrive at these results ... what lines of reasoning resulted it in exploring ideas that humans had previously not explored?

It is architecturally impossible for an LLM to associate a link or citation that it crawled with a response that comes out the other end. Every link they're giving you to support their statements is tacked on because it may vaguely match the tokens it just generated. It is perfectly common to find that a "source" does not contain the statements. You cannot expect an LLM to write you a Wikipedia article, much less a legal or medical opinion supported by research.

brookst (7 replies)

This is a weird complaint.

Let’s say I ask “who created Linux?” Claude correctly tells me Linus Torvalds, and links to Wikipedia.

There are probably thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of other sites that have that some piece of information. Are LLMs supposed to link to every site?

Most sites do not have unique information at all, and even sites that do rarely contain only unique information. Implying that most sites deserve links because they were crawled seems like a statistical fallacy. You could say the same thing about the percent of sites crawled by Google versus ever showing up on first page of results.

This is why we need the HTTP 402 standard to become common.

If websites charge pennies per AI crawl, they will make more money than ever being reference in that 6.2% of websites that get cited (of which even another small percent get any follow through that leads to a sale or ad click)

HTTP 402 also basically extends the pay per token model people have gotten used to with AI model providers, except applied to the whole web, with the added privacy benefit in that there is no need for sellers of content to “know their customer”, and indeed it may even be impossible to do so because of how the payment gateways operate.

If the goal of the web was just to transmit objective facts like 'who created Linux', this wouldn't be a problem at all. Wikipedia handles that pretty dece.

The issue arises when we move away from objective trivia and into subjective, localized buying intent, which is where the web monetizes itself.

If I ask an LLM 'who are the best commercial roofers in Houston?', there isn't one right answer. There are dozens of highly qualified local businesses that do possess unique value, unique pricing, and unique availability.

When an LLM answers that roofing question, it typically cites 3 to 5 businesses. The other 40 legitimate roofing companies in the area are left out. My study isn't arguing that every single one of those 40 companies deserves to be in the answer; it's pointing out that those 40 companies currently have no idea they are being left out.

I have hundreds of plot ideas from 40 years of reading and watching crappy books and films/tv. Never had the time or energy to explore those. LLMs let me try out various plots. To see which ones work and which don't. I haven't really thought about publishing anything though. Too much work and bureaucracy.

The thing is ... ideas matter just as much as the writing. You cannot simply say: "Hey Claude, write me a Sherlock Holmes pastiche set in the bronze age."

I have found that a 1:4 to 1:8 ratio gives nice results. That is, for every 4-8 paras of expected output, you must provide 1 para worth of character detail, plot beats etc. So you would need 100-200 pages of your own writing to produce 800 pages worth.

gabriel666smith (0 replies)

Over this period, the number of books with observed sales in a quarter grew 19.2-fold, while quarterly revenue grew only 8.9-fold.

That's very interesting, and not as dramatic a dilution as I'd expected over the period (2023 - 26), or even close to as dramatic an increase in overall number of titles (achieving a sale) as I expected.

This sample is limited to what the study's authors have defined as "self-published genre fiction", which isn't representative of the market as a whole, and has very different economics compared to, for example, fiction titles published by "Big 5" publishers.

Whether the sales of non-self-published books are potentially being diluted is an interesting question, because it will tell us slightly more about where those AI sales might be coming from. I'd like to know unit and revenue numbers for non-self-published titles for the same period, in the same Amazon categories - on the off-chance anyone here has BookScan access and that's something you can pull.

Overall, though, this seems like a relatively optimistic result. If the economics don't work in the longer-term - the dilution effect ends up not being worth the token cost & labour, unless you can "hit" relatively reliably - we'll end up with less slop, put out by slop-auteurs running book farms, which I think is a fine outcome.

This is not without precedent by any stretch - the only meaningfully new part of that would be the writing mechanism. It strikes me as a possible eventual equilibrium that's both realistic and makes logical sense.

Putting aside the AI-fiction panic, and "the novel is dead" hyperbolics (which is something that's been said about as long as novels have existed), it probably will settle around a % of low-budget genre fiction being slop - as it always has been.

It feels a little patronising to suggest readers looking for anything more "serious" will be seduced and have their sales diluted by mass-produced LLM outputs. Readers deserve more credit than that, I hope.

But it looks, to me, really hard to read anything directionally on that at all, especially without equivalent numbers on titles from actual publishers.

• The author compares announcing LLM use to a pilot broadcasting their avionics software version over the PA or a writer disclosing every spellchecker used.
• One identified motivation is that management mandates may implicitly reward sloppiness, as claiming LLM use supposedly buys tolerance for errors while facilitating future job redundancy.
• Sharing credit carries a practical risk: LLM outputs may be 80 percent complete, leaving the missing 20 percent unreviewed and undetected.
• Credit and accountability are framed as inseparable, meaning attributing work to a tool automatically weakens the creator's responsibility for both successes and failures.

Taking credit for something you didn't do, whether it was done by another person or by an LLM, is dishonest and unethical.

In most contexts I'm aware of where assigning credit actually matters, human authorship and LLM authorship are very much distinguished, and failing to "credit the LLM" in some cases can even have legal consequences.

u/daronjay (321 points · permalink)

Seems to me this person's focus is on the risk to their personal process of fulfillment and affirmation of worth through execution of complex theory crafting.

Sounds like a noble enough pursuit, but the problem is that limiting the entire scope of mathematics to the creative impulses of a handful of poorly paid individuals pursuing the beauty of a theory may not be the best outcome in terms of actually delivering the vast benefits that could accrue if we allowed the AI to establish a whole raft of new truths and principles from which a vast collection of sciences will benefit

It's not about the individual, it's about the corporate benefit of the revelation of truth about the universe that richer mathematics can bring.

If you could tomorrow press a button and unleash the full apprehension of the ground truth of the universe, but someone popped up and said hang on that should be a long drawn out human pursuit of discovery in order to fulfill the individual ego rewards of the mathematicians involved, would you press the button anyway?

I'm afraid I would, there's an entire future of millions of people who will benefit from a deeper understanding of how the universe is wired together. Anything that speeds us towards that goal is more important than the individual ego trauma of people who have lost the creative outlet that they so enjoyed.

I say this is a developer, who has become in the last year basically a person who watches the AI code for him, my role has changed, but I'm actually achieving more than I was before, the key is to refocus what it is that actually matters, and pursue that.

Does no one remember that Google's ChatGPT at the time (obviously released after ChatGPT) was Bard, or PaLM from before that? I used those models, and believe me, they weren't good, even in comparison to GPT-3.5, or potentially even 3. Around the time OpenAI released ChatGPT, they'd already finished training GPT-4, which was at least a year ahead of most other labs.

All of that to say, even if Google did release whatever ChatGPT equivalent they had at the time, the popularity would've only lasted until OpenAI released their models.

• GPT-3.5-turbo-instruct ranks ahead of GPT-5.6-terra on the chess benchmark, a result attributed to the model being trained on unfiltered web dumps including billions of chess game PGN files.
• Later models had repetitive and algorithmically-generated chess data removed from their pre-training corpora because duplication of data hurts performance in other areas.
• The benchmark raises questions about whether LLMs playing against each other or Stockfish would test genuine reasoning versus memorized opening books.
• Some users note that the first model in a series tends to be released as a universal model with broad language support, while subsequent versions are fine-tuned on narrow datasets that improve specific areas but may deteriorate general capabilities.

u/mrwang89 (65 points · permalink)

Yeah right? I thought so too but when you google gpt-3.5 and chess you find out its some kind of chess savant lol

u/fuck_cis_shit (13 points · permalink)

the original gpt-1, gpt-2, gpt-3 were trained on practically unfiltered dumps of the web, including things like gimmick sub-reddits full of nonsense (origin of the SolidGoldMagikarp thing), and chess engine game .pgn collections. there are billions of chess games played by slightly differently-tuned Stockfishes and Rybkas and such available as text in chess notation on the internet, to discover which tunings produce the best play. even a small portion of those pgn collections in pre-training data could teach an LLM all the proper opening lines 6 or 7 ply deep by rote. a good opening book is a good start to a chess player, and eventually ICL is enough to learn a bunch of chess play heuristics

a lot of the repetitive and algorithmically-generated data has been removed from the pre-training data corpus of later models, though, because duplication of data hurts performance in other areas (as well as causing unpredictable weird behavior a la SolidGoldMagikarp)
