Anti-Alias

Whether you flatten the world into binaries, or allow for nuance, complexity, and blurry edges.

Steve Strogatz and the Machine That Does Math Better

High fit

Anti-Alias controls whether you flatten the world into sharp binaries or let complexity and contradiction coexist. Steve Strogatz spent most of this conversation trying to decide if AI solving math problems was categorically good or categorically bad — and landed, painfully, in the middle. He moved from wanting a clean verdict to holding two completely opposite possibilities (miracle year vs. horrible year) without forcing a resolution. That's this setting being turned up.
