Research & technical analysis

1 expert

Evidence, methods and technical implications.

“Link: github.com/openai/math P.S.1: This reminds me of the Chinese room argument, though only indirectly. P.S.2: I imagine a few people at OpenAI have looked at the results. Also maybe some other people have looked at some papers since ~1h ago. These are o(…”

Questions & unknowns

1 expert

What remains unresolved or contested.

“OpenAI is working on at least 722 (so far) math manuscripts, all on GitHub in various stages of verificantion github.com/openai/math Why? I guess because they can?”

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”

Risks, limits and unintended consequences.

“Jessica Ji weighed in on the new #AI-powered https://t.co/sEHIhq7mvb website for @USATODAY, saying that it can be a useful resource for people trying to navigate U.S. government websites. She also notes its risks: “When this kind of AI system is empowered t…”

Julian Sanchez: Amusingly, the chatbot appears to be unable to recognize that it said anything weird. It “thinks” it just responded that it can’t play minecraft.
