| Which is why if humanity had empathy, it would be working on how to make smarter ants, so that they can learn more advanced geometry. |

| What’s optimistic or non-optimistic specifically about the machine having a system of mathematics beyond our comprehension within it? Why should we care about that in itself? |

In the second case all human-level maths would be solved and what lies beyond would be always out of our scope. |

| Why would this be optimistic? This sounds extremely negative to me… |
