Context & explanation

1 expert

Background, chronology and why it matters.

“Oh my god, OpenAI just made the single largest advancement in mathematics and number theory in modern history. They released a quasi reimann hypothesis. This is just one of 722 proofs and advancements they released all at once. github.com/openai/math”

Naomi Saphra: One big consequence here is you can’t use the duration of an open problem as a sign of difficulty/importance. But at least right now, there’s no way to develop interesting open problems through RLV…
