"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

“what is the biggest number”

AI Overview

The biggest number in the world is so big that mathematicians don't even think it exists.

Top 5 biggest numbers, according to me.

  1. 5
  2. 1 Million
  3. 100 Billion
  4. 999 Trillion
  5. Brazillian

There is no biggest number. By virtue of the real numbers (the largest orderable set) being unbounded, for every number in R you can find a number larger. You can also find a number smaller for any number.

Indeed, but OP was referencing aleph_0 and aleph_1 etc, the cardinality of the integers and the reals respectively.

Well, with aleph_0 being the smallest infinity and aleph_1 being the second smallest known infinity, I can't pretend to be surprised.

Aleph is U2135, bet is U2136. Is biggerer

Paradoxically, the empty set is U+2205.
