Seven years ago in an article entitled “Tectonic Shifts Adds Champagne to Million Dollar Math Prize, I declared in the Times of Israel (7-15-2019) that I’d gift a $1,000 bottle of champagne—aside from the million dollar prize offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute—to the genius who finally cracked one of the seven great Millennium Prize math problems: solving the Navier-Stokes equations.

he Navier-Stokes equations are as requisite for climate science as the Pythagorean theorem is for triangles. Yet climatologists have limped along without them for the last two centuries, and an honest appraisal of what the discipline has produced in the way of wildly inaccurate forecasts unfortunately speaks to that deficit.
Navier-Stokes isn’t guesswork though; it’s the mathematical real McCoy, treating Earth’s atmosphere and oceans as what they are: massive interconnected and compressible fluids. These formulae are powerful enough to handle the uber-complex manner in which the planet’s constantly changing, ever flowing biosphere exchanges heat, is compressed or expanded, speeds up or slows down.
Those fundamental variables tracked by the Navier-Stokes equations impose order on the swirling chaos that ends up creating weather and climate.

Those fundamental variables tracked by the Navier-Stokes equations impose order on the swirling chaos that ends up creating weather and climate.
And those variables are are just a SMALL SUBSET of all the variables involved.
But we have a final answer/s
This article is a debunking and disparaging account against climate fearmongering.
It is an well written disparagement of the climate cult.
Worth reading.
AI is not smart. It is only fast.
Where are all the great problems solved like medical breakthroughs, a better spell-checker and how to get the last olive out of the olive jar?
On behalf of the 4 billion people in the Third World Contries who have been harmed by the Climatology Crackpots, I demand the $14 trillion be recovered (from the CCs) and distributed to the Third Worlders who were harmed. $3,500 to everyone harmed. Perhaps we should simply send the jackbooted thugs to seize Al Gores and Bill Gates billions and whatever they can get from Loony Thunberg and others to pay for the Damn-Age those morons caused.
AI has submitted dozens of mathematical solutions to standing challenges.
I’ve heard the term “mathocalypse” used to describe the deflated motivation in the field of mathematics. Things people have spent decades try to solve, AI is doing in hours.
Many software developers have been feeling the same. Nobody is safe, at least in their traditional role.
If I were 18 years old, I think I’d go into HVAC or plumbing or something. That much seems obvious. But if were an 18-year-old who wanted to go to college, I have absolutely no idea what would be a good field of study. The future seems completely hidden, and I do not know what people will do for a living 10 years from now. I pretty definitely would not go into technology or math. Or banking. Or Law. Or writing.

Math and Computer Science are very good to develop thinking skills.
You are correct. I see many writers being replaced with AI.
This right here. Until you can track the state of every molecule on earth and its atmosphere and even entry/exit of molecules in the atmosphere, you cannot claim to know even today's climate, much less tomorrow or a decade from now.
That's why the marxists muttlerized the mutts. A mutt cannot even grasp the condition precedent, better to force-feed them any nonsense in climate or any other subject.
It’s pretty dang smart to me. I have it making programs for me instead of me writing the code...and it writes it not only faster but better than me as well.
Define “smart”.
By any objective, measurable definition, AI is very smart. And getting smarter fact.
Www.trackingai.com
Learning mathematics is like weight lifting for the mind. I doubt that AI can replace that. We shall see.
only an omniscient deity or a race with super-computers could even dream of taking on such impossible tasks as forecasting climate events a decade or a century hence.”

one or the other.......................
they are equivalent...................
who is your god?
I know a number of college grads who became insurance salesmen.
...or teaching, or even being a medical doctor...just have nurses that take instructions from AI (for many things at least).
Over time it’ll cause a general brain drain, nobody will know how half of things work. I see my teams at work already dependent on having AI around.
It’s insane and yet, it can’t/won’t be stopped.
Also, to state what I think should be obvious, AI will easily take entry level jobs in a great many fields. So it will be almost impossible for a human to get their “foot in the door”. Also, AI will improve and take mid-level positions — humans who have some experience and a decent level of competence will no longer be needed in a great many fields.
Now, a human today, with perhaps 20 or 30 years experience, a true expert in their field, will be very valuable — they can spot when the AI screws up, and they can fix the stuff that the AI breaks. You need these Subject Matter Experts. You need humans with verified technical expertise.
And what happens when those excellent humans retire?
Who is on the bench?
The company never hired any entry level people. Never hired any mid-level people. There won’t be anyone with 20 or 30 years experience. There won’t be any excellent humans.
We will have only machines,doing things that we don’t understand. And those machines won’t even have to be all that “intelligent”. Next to humans who have never worked in a field, a basic AI may seem totally inscrutable.
