To all appearances, OpenAI just solved [1] a Nobel-level (Fields medal-leval, strictly speaking) math problem, but you still think it's hype? [1] https://opena

  Brute-forcing the plagiarized and in-progress work of an established mathematician, utilizing the collected efforts of hundreds of other mathematicians over the past century is hardly the victory you seem to think it is. Do you feel like you're getting good value for money if you solve a millenium problem at a fourteen million dollar loss?

    > Do you feel like you're getting good value for money if you solve a millenium problem at a fourteen million dollar loss? Yes you do. If we factor in wages assigned to skilled mathematicians who have worked on this problem, then the 14m for a 1mUSD prize is good value. Also, once things are solved, it on to applications where even more value could potentially be generated. Here its 1m USD simply because theres a proze assigned to it. But once these solution are used in applications, the yield is calculated on the 14m RnD cost. Which (depending on the application) is a good investment.
