The short version
- Read on below for the latest updates in the AI takeover of mathematics.
- In a chaotic few months, OpenAI has demonstrated it can do two things with remarkable consistency: make impressive breakthroughs in mathematics, then colossally screw up announcing them.
- After turning a string of spectacular mathematical results into a reputational crisis , OpenAI is consulting human mathematicians to help it figure out a less disastrous path forward.
What happened
OpenAI has spent the last few years planting flags across the increasingly difficult terrain in mathematics. This week, it claimed one of its biggest prizes yet: a solution to a legendary Millennium Prize problem.
Why it matters
In normal circumstances, this would have been celebrated as a historic achievement.
