MATT DAMON!!

Professor Lambeau is a textbook example for how to introduce a character. His elegant but sloppy clothing style, the body language, the way of talking which is at the same time eloquent and bored, his fixation on awards, publicity and big names and his strange display of modesty - which is in fact the exact opposite - in which he mixes his humble name with Nobel laureates and Fields medal winners, just enough to remind you that he is one of them, the superficial friendliness where his students are good as an audience but any personal contact is shifted to the assistant except for a handful of lucky chosen ones that he deems worthy of his attention, a man too much in awe of himself to recognize that the full Salieri treatment he is about to receive is already lingering in the air ... all this is laid out in a few minutes of screen time. Immaculate writing, and top-notch acting by Mr Skarsgard.

Let's be real: how could I possibly know more of those machines than the operators who work with them every day? Just because I have a university degree, really? Always assume someone knows better, combine all the information, scrutinise it, test it, only then you find the best solutions.

Makes me want to be a janitor.

Good old school movie scene.

Anybody else notice that when the problem is first shown at 1:05 it's written in a different handwriting to the problem & answer shown at 1:52?

He probably used the left side for intermediate calculations and then rewrote the questions when he was done.

@@magicmulder Except that you can clearly see that the problem and answer at 1:52 are not in the same hand writing - compare the 't' on the question and the 't' in det in the answer, also the capital A and the lower case i and j. Besides the movie makes it obvious that Will's so smart he probably can just work it out in his head

Good luck. ChatGPT struggles with sixth grade math.

ChatGPT and all other LLMs are nothing but stochastic parrots. Anything they can "prove" is only because the answer was fed into their training dataset somewhere. There is nothing of thought going on. I don't doubt there are cases waiting to be discovered of the form "we've previously proved it but didn't make the connection and realize it" that an LLM might reveal, but nothing in the model of current generation "AI" will ever prove anything genuinely novel.

ChatGPT told me the twin prime conjecture is trivial and refused to provide a proof, then said there’s only a finite number of primes.

This Bourne prequel is one of the best.

From a genius janitor to an assasin.

Fun fact: Jack and Nemesh didn’t prove the theorem, but still became Silicon Valley billionaires when their Liquid Neural Net project achieved ASI.

This reminds me alot of my step brother. He also works at a university as a janitor but he walks by the blackboards and hes able to solve the equations quite easily. Also hes best friends with Ben Aflack

this is so much better when you think of him as being the Matt Damon in Team America. “Matt Damon”

Some say Will emigrated to Asgard and became an actor of some renown, choosing to forego the trappings of Midgard.

When you know what type of problem that is and know the parameters, it really only takes about 2 minutes to solve the entire thing. I'm a retired math teacher. No way this should have taken M.I.T. professors and their grad students 2 years to do this.

Five minutes of work. The rest of the time was spent wishing they had gone into music.

Solving is not proving though

Jfc, it's a plot device.

Just to clarify, the professor was asking for a proof. Will did not provide a proof, but a solution and that is a very different and often much easier thing. Yes, I realize it's only a movie and you can't fit an actual proof in the scene. I barely made it through a third semester of calculus, and once I saw a description of the problem, I solved it in about 10 minutes. I would not even know where to begin with a proof.

Nemesh chuckling away. He spent the weekend working on his Mr Roboto cover.

Nemesh is all of us in this clip.

he's kind a gross professor

Hitting on the undergrad was disgusting, and verboten even in the 1990s.
