When asked about their hopes for artificial general intelligence (AGI), many proponents cite aspirations to 'make the world a better place'. Upon closer examination, the specifics often involve improving health & reducing suffering globally. Yet, attempting to convey that such aims are achievable today at scale through highly accessible low-tech solutions, mostly falls on deaf ears. Why is that?

The Langlands programme, created by Robert Langlands in the 1960s and 1970s, studies connections between number theory and geometry. We can think of this as a Rosetta Stone for mathematics.

The butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.
