Our readingWhat is a korrent?

An outsider could have disproved the Erdős unit-distance conjecture with a public model, because nobody had tried spending $100,000 of compute on one question.

What these subjects mean

mathematics Doing mathematics: proof, conjecture, and what mathematicians want that other fields do not.

AI and science Models used to do science rather than to write: rediscovering laws from data, compressing decades of biology, refereeing a proof.

What Noam Brown actually said

  1. Noam Brown Research scientist at OpenAI
    Um but it would be possible and it would have been possible for somebody to disprove the erdos unit distance conjecture before we did using a general purpose model. And nobody had explored sufficiently what happens if I put $100,000 worth of compute into 5.5 what could it do?
