A company that can solve Millenium problems is somehow still can’t ever make profits. How did you come to that conclusion

- plaidfuji 1mo ago1. They are massively unprofitable. It is a statement of fact. Nowhere did I say “can’t ever”. 2. Even their pursuit of this problem was itself unprofitable - $15M in compute to solve a problem with a $1M prize. Not that that was the point, but still.
- curt15 1mo agoIf you transplant a world class mathematician into a chemistry lab, do you expect similarly ground breaking results? Do you expect a top chemist to make major advances in mathematics? The frontier labs are likely betting on lay observers (read: investors) confusing headline-grabbing results in abstract mathematics with phenomenal profitability in more grounded endeavours. There is an implicit fallacy that "If our models can solve mathematics they can do everything else."
