Fields Medal winning mathematician Timothy Gowers used GPT5.5 Pro to solve open problems, believes mathematical research will face a 'crisis' very soon with current rate of progress
It's over btw
>>108783418One would think the headlining post would include what AI proved not that AI just proved something
>>108783445it rephrased jeet's (stolen) research into a chapter that elderly british faggot skimmed through after receiving payment from the kike
>>108783445The AI proved that OP is gay.
>>108783445https://gowers.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/a-recent-experience-with-chatgpt-5-5-pro/It's too complicated to describe in a tweet. Try reading.
>>108783418> Timothy Gowers LITERAL TIMMIES
>>108783426>This changes everything and will cause a crisis!How?>We need to prepare phd students for this!How? Sounds like this guy has no idea what he's talking about and got btfo by ai psychosis after a 3 day goon session.
>>108783536>LLMs can do months of PhD-level work in an afternoonThis is a crisis if these people who've spend 8+ years studying plan to ever get work.>How?Retrain them to be miners.
are we just now realizing academia is fake and gay bullshit?
>>108783418>all those replies ittluddite cope lmao. AIGODS won, mathfag, codefags and artfags lost
>>108783559Exactly. Research has never amounted to anything. Just look around you.
>>108783542If it takes you 8 years to solve an equation that can be solved with basic logic then you've wasted your time being retarded. Wake me up when ai solves why our universe is right-handed.
>>108783590You probably can't even solve basic proofs by induction. It takes that amount of time to teach people how to think about mathematicsWhat's the incentive now that LLMs can do it
>>108783604So I thought about this problem a lot actually, like what happens when for example nobody is left who knwos how to write assembly. Or when the last guy who knows that thing dies?It's not a bullshit story, it's happened beforehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogbank
>>108783418>which I've been given access toso he got paid saying all that, these companies are so desperate shilling their so called 'progress"
>>108783590>math is just solving equations>open problems are just unsolved equations
>>108783418>useless unemployable academic fieldmight as well ask grok to solve open problems in gender studies
A Fields medalist can be a top genius at some niche maths, and a absolute dunce at everything else.This is like taking Dawkins impression of "Claudia" as a serious proff that AI are conscious.
>>108783418What people don't realize is that results someone gets from muh AI often depends on their own knowledge and skill level. That guy knew what to ask and knew how to focus on what they recognized as right in the LLMs answer.If someone is skilled enough, they don't even need an LLM to surface answers, they can just go on an automatic writing spree a text editor and sooner or later they'll be gobsmacked at some thing they had never consciously thought of before appeared on screen, but they're the one that typed it.It's a dumb phenomenon.
>>108783764Cope. You are not required anymore
>>108783573There are no ai chads, any person can use AI even a pajeet so you are no equal to a pajeet. What stops the ai from prompint itself or more AI's? You have no value in this world.
>>108783787You are too stupid to even understand the limitations AI. You definitely will be the first to be turned into onions green.
>>108783801Im the CEO of AI and you will be replaced. Your coding and math skills are useless now. In fact, I own you. We vibeGODS won
>>108783810Don’t worry bro, aiGODS are going destroy your "people" and we vibeGODS are going to laugh. Coders and mathfags aren’t required anymore
>>108783821i really dont think we need to shit on them so muchbut man they sure as shit shat on usconstantly, for yearsbut even so i feel like just knowing is enough
>>108783787Sweaty, I work in automation.
>>108783878You don’t
>>108783821I actually look like this.
>>108783884Ok?
>>108783735Dawkins wrote a couple things about evolution but nothing on-par with being a Fields medalist. Also, Dawkin's "arguments" were incredibly flimsy. What is wrong with what the guy is saying?
>>108783764>>108783787you can still use your own competence to stop and redirect the LLM to arrive at the correct solution faster and avoiding long, expensive dead ends, but it still does 99% of the work itself and could usually have arrived at the answer itself (just at the cost of more tokens). I have to catch claude every now and then when it is about to make a stupid mistake, usually due to some missing contextual knowledge I didn't provide but occasionally when it genuinely fucks up and makes wrong assumptions. but I could also just spend more money on compute to get the same result with no intellectual input
Friendship with Qwen is over. I asked it to guess how an erotic fantasy went on in my head and it refused. So abliterated Qwen it is.https://huggingface.co/llmfan46/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-GGUF/blob/main/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-Q8_0.gguf

>>108783418There's more to life than a fucking Fields medal
>>108783418>read replies>this level of outright stupidity and ignoranceYou people just hate smart people because you’re stupid. It’s genuinely depressing how stupid /g/ is.
Hey I attended the courses of this guy
>>108783418I wonder whether it’s any good at algebraic geometry. I suspect it’s likely far far better at combinatorics than algeo. I’m sure that’ll change over time, but it’s still depressing in the sense that this used to be a field that anyone could do, but if LLMs are going to become needed for mathematics, it basically turns this into a pay-to-win game when it used to be the fairest field we had.
>>108784976Anytime maths or sciences are talked about on this board I get reminded that people here have about as much worth and sentience as literal bugs and ask myself why I keep coming to this shithole
>>108784996I'm doing a phd thesis in a subfield of algebraic geometry and I use deepseek and Claude all the time
>>108784996>>108785011 (me)It's also the case of a few of my colleagues (who either do algebraic geometry or algebraic analysis)
>>108783418There’s going to be a serious crisis if we don’t figure out what to do about young people. If this outputs the work of a young mathematician more easily than it would be to train a PhD candidate then what happens when all the old guard are no longer around but we’ve not built up mathematicians strong enough to replace them? The current way of focusing on profit risks us winding up in a position where we might actually begin destroying our own ability to do mathematics. Loss of institutional knowledge is a serious risk none of the people in charge care about because there are shekels to be made.>>108785002It always alarms me that the posts on this site that think universities are filled with morons are posted with full sincerity here.>>108785011How do they perform?
>>108785057>How do they perform?First, I have to say that I don't do full-on Langlands-style AG or stuff like that, my work borders computational algebra and logic so there is bias in that sense. But they perform well for what I ask thep to do, that is, brainstorming, finding approaches and sometimes completing proofs for which I already have somewhat worked out an outline. They can't solve my subject from one vague prompt yet sadly (or not?) but anytime I have sufficient work behind the prompt they do very well which sometimes doesn't require much, so for proving otherwise menial lemmas etc. they're pretty great. If progress continues as it has done I also do fear that I'll just become a prompt monkey orienting it with my human intuition and doing jack shit in the actual thinking part of the work.
>>108785011You should probably switch to gpt and Gemini as they bench consistently higher on math evals.OpenAI people are also keen for good press so you might be able to get a free pro sub by just tweeting at them on xitter
>>108783418>>108783420>>108783426I mean, isn't this just a slight shift of focus to finding and formalizing those questions and then investigating the answers the AI gives?That's something that still requires a deep understanding of the subject. It's not like some average person could just randomly come up with a question about combinatorics or functional analytics.
>>108784208Don’t be a fucking liar. I only need to ask Claude to do stuff for me and I ignore everything else. Face it, we don’t need you anymore and you will be replaced
>>108783418>>108783420>>108783426All he’s saying is that it created a latex chapter discussing an open problemAt no point does he state that it solved it. My guess is he gets free gibs from OpenAI to spew some marketing bs that sounds fancy without actually saying anything
>fields medalist>thinks using a series of tweets is the best way to communicate ideaswhat
>>108783418>crisisthis shit was supposed to help us, but this shit world you niggers insist on supporting built on greed and stepping on whomever to climb a bit higher is going to land us all in the dirt, fuck this shit
>>108786309Holy cope, trans. Face it, you are not needed anymore. AiGODS won, Luddites lost
>>108783821try replacing the ears with actual snail antennae, and maybe an even longer neck, that would be a nice touch
>>108786333It's only a crisis for human mathematicians because they're going to be outclassed and the machines will solve all open problems and moreThis is a good problem to haveUnless you like doing math
>>108786346don't worry, i'm going to politics.
>>108786362>Unless you like doing mathdoing math is beautiful, without humans doing math AI wouldn't even exist to begin with, AI is a great tool but the hands that keep it, full of greed are nothing but evil, and they seek evil, they don't seek to uplift the population they seek to sink it into the dirt, if you can't see this clear as day you're either a fool or a shill
>>108783614>what happens when for example nobody is left who knwos how to write assemblyJust ask AI to teach you how it works
>>108783418Yea boosters are retarded, ai is a nothingburgert. retard
>In any case, a little over a week ago I decided to see how ChatGPT 5.5 Pro would fare with a selection of problems asked by Mel Nathanson in a paper entitled Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Problems in Additive Number Theory.surely the answer is in the dataset then
>AIs outperforming the vast majority of humans in intellectual fields>the government continues to sleepWhat do they expect? That we abandon all jobs that have a minimum of dignity - white-collar jobs - to work breaking rocks in mines?It seems that all professions that pay relatively above average are about to be replaced in the coming years, while manual and dangerous jobs continue to be done by flesh-and-blood humans.Either the West puts in place a genuinely nationalist government to curb these companies, or we will have to start killing CEOs and presidents.It is possible to change, China is even at least trying, while the West will drown with a mass of 80% obsolete unemployed people: https://fortune.com/2026/05/03/chinese-court-layoffs-workers-ai-replacement-labor-market/
>>108787308Cope. You won’t do shit and you will be replaced
>>108787338If I lose everything, I'll have nothing left to lose.A man with nothing to lose is dangerous, now imagine an entire population. We'll have a civil war if nothing is done. Either they stop the development of AI or they create UBI right away.
>>108787356Most people are useless eaters. They won’t do shit. You won’t do shit. Your "people" are going to be replaced by aiGODS and vibeGODS.There’a nothing you can do about it because most coders are trans
>>108786309>the model proved the result
>>108786310He also published a blog, but yes, tweets are the way to get it to the most number of eyeballs rapidly
>>108787376just post a link to the blog, fucking hell
>>108787308>>108787356Going from privileged elite making six figures to retail worker aren't exactly the conditions for revolution. You guys have never really suffered in your lives and are too much of selfish weak pussies even to try to sabotage your AI replacement.
>>108787396See >>108783467. Or do you mean he only should've posted a link? If so, you have no understanding of how humans think or understand the world nowadays.
>>108787308
>>108787404well I am endlessly frustrated by vertical videos being spammed online with insane editing and subtitles that are shown one at a time so yeahI dont want to interact with any of those people
>>108787442Grow with the times old man. 4chan has like 10k users total and isn't even in the top 100 social medias.
>>108787366all people are useless eaters.especially the ones that think they aren't.
>>108787438nta, imo, we're digging our own grave by vibecoding, that shit learns, we're tratining our replacement, I know it sounds doomy, but hard for me to view it any other way, at the very least they won't need as many of us as they do now, and from that forwards, we won't be needed at all, because it'll be abstracted just so the non tech people can do it too
>>108787308>That we abandon all jobs that have a minimum of dignity - white-collar jobs - to work breaking rocks in mines?If white collar "work" can be so easily automated with algorithmic sleight of hand, it was never really "work" to begin with. I got into construction after chatgpt blew up in like what 2022? Most white collar work will be destroyed in the coming years. Either get out now into the trades or into something white collar in construction and you can forestall the inevitable. As for me, I project manage construction workers. AI isn't going to manage tradies at all when they're mostly lying retards. And don't get me wrong they will try and it will be stupid costly to a GC that tries when tradies do trady shit.
>>108787485>And don't get me wrong they will trysoonyou're either cheering for the downfall of your fellow brothers, or worse you truly are our enemy, which one is it?
>>108787485>constructionNigga you must be really dumb if you think there's going to be all this demand for construction in a world where practically everyone is unemployed and survives on government handouts to eat. In such a situation, nobody will be building shopping malls because nobody will be able to afford to go, nobody will be building office buildings because there won't be any employees, nobody will be building football stadiums because nobody will have the money to watch a game, no government will pay for a new bridge/road if nobody works or pays taxes anymore.It will basically be modernized slavery, where you will sell your dignity and privacy in exchange for UBI (oatmeal, potatoes and basedbeans).>If white collar "work" can be so easily automated with algorithmic sleight of hand, it was never really "work" to begin withThen tell me what is your definition of work. I suspect that 99% of people are completely useless from your point of view. Not just the HR bitch with the colored hair, but also the farmer who plants potatoes and was replaced by a combine harvester, the policeman who would be replaced by cameras, drones and robots, the doctors who would be replaced by robotic arms operated remotely by pajeets, etc.
>>108783542>>LLMs can do months of PhD-level work in an afternoon>This is a crisis if these people who've spend 8+ years studying plan to ever get work.No it isn't. This is like the advent of computers. Rather than wasting months of time per individual mathematician with computations, conjectures to nowhere etc, you can now have one mathematician running tons of concurrent cases in an afternoon. Its going to speed up and change the nature of mathematics research, but it will not end it. This is absolutely nothing but a positive for mathematicians. Remember, an AI cannot understand things for you.
>>108786405If you believe that these people will be able to create these extremely powerful entities, then you must know that any attempts to control them will fail
>To do this, ChatGPT came up with an idea which is original and clever. It is the sort of idea I would be very proud to come up with after a week or two of pondering, and it took ChatGPT less than an hour to find and prove, using similar methods to those in my own proof. My goal is to explain that idea, in a manner that will be digestible to my friends who are computer science majors as well as my math major friends.this is painful to read, stop making me read this stuff OP youre evil! OP IS EVIL!

>>108783604What was the incentive before llms could do it?
>>108787594I see a future with super intelligent entities that think we're ants.And I don't really care what ants think, even the billionaire ants.
>>108787651kek, you speak as if you were one of those entities, why do you think the west should sink in ruin?
>>108787684To an ant, we are basically super intelligent.I have no particular agenda against the west. I just don't think nation states should exist.we're approaching a moment where we will finally see some real, radical, social and political upheaval and whatever is on the other side is better than the malaise that exists now.
>>108787707oh you're an optimist, with this fucking monster's claw in the clouds?nobody will hand us anything, we'll have to fight for it
>>108787725An optimist only in so far as that the god like entity is just as likely to turn us all into orange juice as anything else, and that that would be preferable to the state things are in now
>>108787750lol, if you want to become orange juice so bad go ahead, not what I'm after myself

>>108787454lol lmao
>>108788393>Two more models and AGI will happenkek
someone still needs to read and understand what the llm has produced. for instance, even with a cs education, i would not understand the content of most math papers. even if an llm proves a theorem or solves a specific problem, the solution would likely sound like gibberish to me, and i simply would not be able to either confirm or refute it. we still need a humans with degree in maths capable of understanding what llm produced.
>>108788400We don’t need AGI to replace you, luddite snailcat
>>108788489>Welelz cool story Sam
>>108788441This isn’t going to happen, because people already take any excuse to cut funding from maths or science departments, but especially maths departments. Retards love cutting what paltry funding we get in subjects they don’t understand but they heard another retard say it was pointless.
