    These math breakthroughs happened by throwing tens of thousands of agents at a problem to cover all possible angles (with tools developed by other mathematicians) costing the same amount of money as hiring ten top tier mathematicians for several years. Not saying it is not impressive, but not “AI can replace sciencetists” level impressive.

    Funny how AI has supposedly surpassed the greatest scientists, yet the greatest scientific discovery here is always announced by the guy selling subscriptions. If it really is that smart, perhaps it could explain to Sam the difference between a peer reviewed breakthrough and a product launch.

    Ya, Sam, call me when the AI knows what questions to ask that it came up with on its own rather than just scraping…

    Wake me up when their AI can propose and conduct novel scientific experiments.

    Maths is an “easy” target for AI because it’s self contained. It’s easier to brute force training data in mathematics when there’s no external forces.

    Can’t have that cheat code in science, unless they let their models study the behavior of real ant colonies as part of their reinforcement learning process.

      You know, that’s actually one of the very few types of use case where I’d be ok with the massive resource consumption of AI data centers. Just feed enormous volumes of raw sensor data into model training and see if it comes up with patterns and connections that we didn’t notice.

      Anti-intellectuals out themselves. Altman is one.

      Science isn’t about the answer. Its about the process. Anti-intellectuals vehemently argue until they are blue in the face that the end result is all that matters.

        Anti-intellectuals think science is like in the movies: write gibberish on a chalkboard and time travel is suddenly invented. “Who needs experiments? My equation is correct!”

    Lol weird. I was asking ai the other night for a unique cyberpunk build patch 2.5 and it keep telling me to take multiple perks far before they’re even reachable at level 4

    AI is not smarter than the best scientist. It’s just smarter than Sam Altman. But that’s partially because Sam Altman is regressing due to his over reliance on AI.

    I’ll believe it when I hear it from the brightest human scientists, not the glorified salesman who would ironically be perfectly replaced by AI.

      Yours is the first valid argument, after reading previous 13, all of which were, unfortunately, more up-voted than yours.
      Edit : Now, having read all 38 main comments, yours is the only one that has real valid logic.

    How would one even measure this quantitatively?
