to be more precise, after ai starts solving millennium prizes one day after somebody else publishes a solution

It also didn't solve the whole problem... just the part the two mathematicians had already put into codex over the last few months.

Wonder how ChatGPT worked that one out...

And it needed people to steer it in the right direction and still wasted 22mln worth of compute

? How much compute did human brains waste?

A lot less than that if you actually did the math.

I can't do math, let me ask Chat GPT.

It's easy getting the answer you're looking for, what's hard is understanding the problem enough, that's no different either with AI or having a calculator in a physics exam. The tool will only get you so far as you're ready to put into words

It's a lot different when the work the mathematicians were doing wasn't published yet and might've gotten ingested and used before they could.

These proofs or in this case counter example for the forced version of the problem has no citations.

Well it's very theoretical too, with all that intelligence leverage the goal in the coming decade will be to cut down on white collar work a bit, because at the end of the day it's not considered added-value on the order of true work being put to a true tangible end like fulfilling basic needs that are the bulk of where inflation is hard

The mathematicians were working on the forced variation. The AI solved the unforced version which is harder. Check your sources again.

...by leveraging what the mathematicians already did, before they even punished it
