ChatGPT 5.4 just solved a 64 year old math problem no human could ever solver before

whenever a real person produces a novel mathematical proof or solution, that person is, for a while, the only person who knows the solution
of course other people can then step in and verify
the same applies to AI

and this is an extremely simple one. A few of them that are collatz inspired. Until an AI can literally solve a millennium problem or create new mathematics it's useless for math. Since the only point of doing these problems is to create new math that might be useful.

It didn't solve shot. It vacuumed up somebody's method from social media and spit it back out. It probably spit out 100000 incorrect solutions that the ai shill masters neglected to report on, and for the press involved when it incidentally and finally token puked out the correct one.

Being unsolved means it wasn't a simple one.

This is bullshit to begin with. You people do realize this is how quantum physicists solve "problems"
Most of the time is just "hey, let's just add another dimension to the equation" ... nigger really ?, ARE YOU FOR REAL ?! Ye fucking brainlet....
At this point, quantum physics is more esoteric than astrology.

Euclid was blown the fuck away by squares drawn in dirt. At least his discoveries related to it advanced understanding instead of, for this problem in particular, being a brute force computational waste of time.

Interesting enough to explain to a child/highschool/graduate student and walk them through a solution attempt. Go read about Erdos life and work. I scrolled through the entire thought process and it's actual intelligence is still just as low as any other 1~10T parameter model. If there simply didn't happen to exist, a straight forward solution, that just required more modern tools from probability theory. Erdos wrote that problem in 1935 and some of the arguments popularized in the 2020s

No, there are an infinite number of problems that have not been solved yet. This is how phd students manage to generate papers most of the time.

There are also an infinite number of problems that are unsolvable in any consistent system.

AI can just do all the necessary thinking it needs to make hardware even cheaper and make itself easier to run. It will take some time but in the end hardware is going to get better and cheaper at a higher pace than before the shortages.

If you waste your time solving math equations which don't have an application then why bother.
There are currently unsolved math problems which have entire industry changing potential already realised and accounted for, all someone has to do is solve it and get it to apply correctly and boom, we now have AV2 or whatever.

you "may" pay me to jerk off and eat burgers for 80 years, it "may" reveal something about our universe that was previously undiscovered and also useless

while I'm at it, who gives a fuck how stars move or what constitutes their current atmosphere. if I were paid to look at shit in the sky more that a million miles away I'd be deeply embarrassed and depressed. a life wasted for absolutely no return. everyday spent producing research and paperwork with no use, no purpose.

anyone that engages in star gazing is paid to waste their intelligence looking at useless shit so they don't turn their big brains to something actually useful for humanity

Read the article until the end brownoid. It didn't actually solve it and actual mathematicians had to rewrite almost the whole thing. The only thing it did was give them a rough outline for the approach that you can use to solve it.
