Mathematics Without Mathematicians
- Yesterday, OpenAI announced the solution to ten open problems in mathematics, all discovered by a yet-unreleased model.
- There’s only one, the coding theory one, where I know enough to say “huh, that’s important”, but according to the mathematicians I trust this is important.
- Inevitably, people will spin some sophistry to cope, to convince themselves nothing will change.
