CLAUDE COMPUTES A NINE-LOOP AMPLITUDE IN N=4 SUPER-YANG-MILLS

Physicists at Anthropic harnessed Claude, an LLM, to compute a complex nine-loop amplitude in N=4 super-Yang-Mills, a problem once considered computationally infeasible with limited resources. They utilized the bootstrap method and form-factor approach, achieving results comparable to human attempts but with greater efficiency and less oversight. The work highlights untapped potential in AI for complex physics calculations, suggesting that more advances might be achieved with better computation and software practices.

ON EZRA KLEIN'S PODCAST WITH JENSEN HUANG

Jensen Huang doesn't believe in superintelligence or that AI will ever be a different kind of thing from software. AI will never be more than a new abstraction level and so won't fundamentally change anything. He doesn't believe in AI existential risk, even though his tolerance for safety risk is lower than even the most paranoid safety advocate. Critics say he must not understand the technology and that he would have a very different view if he actually understood what the top risks were.
