It feels like people are celebrating this but hating on ai developments. not sure if these people are hypocritical or if that's two different groups of people.
Do you mean to say that this achievement had something to do with AI?
Looks like pure mathematics to me.
I think they're comparing the huge amount of computing power used for both AI and finding primes.
Yes but when we use power to find new primes then we know them and can use them in cryptography, but if we use power on AI then we dilute current knowledge with fake knowledge. So it's a pretty stark contrast imo.
