Dersu @tak3sh8 · Aug 28 An undergrad asked me today whether researchers and profs actually understand papers when they read them without AI. He was genuinely surprised (he had tried& couldn't) that some people just read papers directly, without a LLM intermediary. I was a bit shocked by his question😅

Balázs Pozsgay @pozsgaybalazs · 1h Maybe AI hasn't killed mathematics, but it killed the Miklós Schweitzer competition, a traditional and prestigious competition in Hungary. The rules were simple: 10-11 problems, one week for the students, they lock themselves into their rooms, and try to do what they can. Today I was informed that the Schweitzer competition will never be held in the same form. AI systems solved all problems from last year, now the whole thing is pointless. They will something else instead, perhaps just discuss nice problems, but not in the form of an actual competition. I never participated in "the Schweitzer", instead I did the physics competition, the Ortvay. I haven't heard yet what the organizers will do this year. In the last couple of years I always posed a problem, I was reviewing the solutions. AI use was allowed last year, but the students had to disclose it. However, very few did disclose it, despite apparent signs. The best solution for my problem from last year was someone who did it clearly without AI. Last year, free AI systems were not yet capable of solving my problem, and at the time of submitting it only ChatGPT Pro could do it, and not in one shot. However, the situation likely changed since then.
Tweet by Balázs Pozsgay saying AI systems solved all of last year's problems in Hungary's Miklós Schweitzer mathematics competition, so it will not be held in its traditional form; he also describes AI-use disclosure problems in the Ortvay physics competition, where he sets a problem.

Promotional content for Math Academy's mastery-learning knowledge-graph curriculum, showing an accelerated third-grader completing Calc BC. Adjacent to Nathan's "knowing_what_you_are_course" / Digital Academy curriculum interests, though about human pedagogy rather than AI.

Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp
A practical prompt-engineering tip shared by Dwarkesh Patel for Socratic-tutoring-style AI interactions — instructing the model to pause and require answers before continuing an explanation. Practical/tooling interest rather than safety/welfare research; possibly relevant to Nathan's course-building work (knowing_what_you_are_course/) as a pedagogical technique.
