Can't mathematicians still gain novel insights by reverse-engineering AI-generated proofs? Just like chess players learn new concepts by studying what engines play.

If their solutions are significantly different, as OpenAI claims, would it still be considered plagiarism?

> I wish it were done by different folks, ideally under some kind of public control like NASA research or the NPR model. This is sort of what OpenAI was supposed to be. I'll never understand how it was legal for them to turn it into

Isn't it safe to say that all famous unsolved math problems will get a "massive amount of AI-powered effort" pointed at them regardless?

OpenAI claims the data contamination issue only surfaced after they proactively reached out to Buckmaster and Alpöge to coordinate a joint release. They also say that even if there was some contamination, the underlying proofs diverge subst

> The agents arrived at their resolution on Saturday, September 5, about 88 hours after the first agents were launched. If this actually holds up, solving a Millennium Prize problem in 88 hours is mind-boggling.

Playing the devil's advocate here but it's true that OpenAI didn't have to make those offers.

The scam was caught due to a whistleblower, not because people were looking for flaws.

> LLMs seem already to be pretty good at translating I often use LLMs to translate from "shitty English" to "good English". The substance remains the same but it's nicer to read.

Not surprising. Far-leftists tend to be ideologically opposed to Bitcoin. They say so themselves: "Bitcoin are an investment fund pump & dump done to dupe the ultra-libertarian anarco-capitalists."

1) The article is not even about Romani people, it's about vagrants. 2) He seems to be ok with some level of immigration: "Copenhagen, by comparison, was about eighty-five percent native Danes in 2000, and is still three-quarters

Greenhouse gas emissions also coincide with the greatest poverty reduction period in human history. Climate science is pretty close to a "pure" hard science. What's not pure are the sloppy geopolitical and socio-economic pred

You are suggesting that the impending catastrophe will be like a car crash? Everything will be just fine and then suddenly catastrophe? No warning signs? Like an asteroid impact? I'm just not seeing the mechanism behind this.

You could say that about any doomsday prediction. What concrete evidence is there that a "brick wall" is actually imminent? The first ~1.4C of warming coincided with the greatest surge in human development, poverty reduction, and

That's not what I'm seeing from the first graph. If there's any trend, it's towards fewer climate deaths. This is well documented mainstream science. Also, not sure why my comment was flagged...

That is much less of a systemic issue though. It could kill OpenAI or Anthropic, but it wouldn't render these large GPU data centers obsolete since whatever replaces them, be it open models or cheaper closed models, would probably stil

These semantic arguments are tedious and unproductive. Most HNers understand how LLMs work and that there's no magic involved. There's no need to state the obvious every time a model exhibits some interesting emergent behavior.

I just think politicians suck at economics and/or that the economy is of secondary concern to them. Even if they know a policy is economically unsound, they will still go with it if that's what's popular with voters.
