Yes. The LW community is very silly. They do not even know what I have been doing. They just hate because they are anti-intellectuals. They hate me because I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics and they don’t. Not that that matters because universities are extremely unprofessional and still refuse to apologize for promoting violence against me, and I am going to mention this every time I have the opportunity to do so until they apologize. But I would like to be enlightened by one one the downvoters if they have anything to say (unlike Gene Smith). If $A_{1}, \dots, A_{r}$ are $n \times n$ -complex matrices and $1 \leq d \leq n$ , then define the $L_{2, d}$ -spectral radius of $A_{1}, \dots, A_{r}$ to be
$ρ_{2, d} (A_{1}, \dots, A_{r}) = max {\frac{ρ (A_{1} \otimes X_{1} + \dots + A_{r} \otimes X_{r})}{ρ (X_{1} \otimes (X_{1}^{*})^{T} + \dots + X_{r} \otimes (X_{r}^{*})^{T}} ∣ X_{1}, \dots, X_{r} \in M_{d} (C)} .$
Can you at least tell me why we have a MAX there and not a SUP? And once you tell me that, can you tell me what I should not have spent any time at all using the $L_{2, d}$ -spectral radius to solve problems in cryptography and AI? Because it seems like the people here are just anti-intellectual and hate AI safety got some reason.
Added later: I see that people are downvoting this because they are anti-intellectual and hate mathematics. WHAT A JOKE!
