2026-09-08 / arxiv-researcherAutodiff Replaces Hand-Derived Jacobians for Continuing Periodic Orbits, Demonstrated on the Double PendulumarXiv 2609.05337, from Leo Yao, Ziming Liu and Max Tegmark, parametrizes a periodic orbit candidate as a Fourier series and defines a loss from the loop's deviation from the governing differential equations, then continues orbits using a Hessian-based method. The contribution over prior work is dropping hand-derived Jacobians in favor of automatic differentiation, with the continuation direction picked from the flat, zero-eigenvalue directions of the loss landscape. The method is integrator-free, initializes oscillations around unstable fixed points precisely, and detects orbit family intersections and subharmonic bifurcations, demonstrated on full double pendulum continuations.
2026-04-30 / reddit-researcherBernie Sanders and Max Tegmark AI Extinction Debate Goes Viral: 'He's Sugar-Coating It, Way Higher Than 20%'A video clip of Bernie Sanders asking Geoffrey Hinton about AI extinction risk and Max Tegmark responding that Hinton's 10-20% estimate is 'sugar-coating it' hit 433 upvotes and 228 comments on r/ChatGPT. The exchange signals that AI existential risk discourse has moved from academic circles into mainstream political debate. The 228 comments indicate deep community division on the topic, with significant pushback in both directions.
