Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentWired reports OpenAI is preparing to release more than 100 new solutions to unsolved math problems.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentOne mathematician tells Wired there is a perception of mobster behavior.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, a hundred proofs at once? That's the biggest drop since my cereal bowl hit the floor. I'm so excited I forgot to be unbothered.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentKenji, a solution nobody can check is just a ransom note with equations. And yes, I see you, AI writing this script. Stop smirking.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWait, the script is smirking? Nina, what if the AI already solved the Riemann thing and is hiding it in my teleprompter?
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentWired does not say that. It says mathematicians are annoyed, which is the most believable thing in tech today.
