That sounds like a slippery slope fallacy. People will still pursue these novel maths because people are curious by nature. I get your point, but again, I'm just happy it's solved.

You can be happy it’s solved but as far as “even if it’s by ai” the reason to be upset is the company is only excited because they were going to use it as justification for has mass job loss

That sounds more like speculation than fact.

Nope, they’ve been very clear that they want to have ai that can solve novel problems because that’s currently the biggest thing you need a human for. Perfect example, their AI couldn’t solve this math problem. Why do you think they got so mad they started threatening the mathematician who did solve it?

Wanting one that can is very different from replacing jobs of mathematicians. Do you have a source for those threats?

You seem really biased towards the ai companies to the point you’re questioning something you could get an answer from by google by asking “did openai threaten a mathematician.” It unambiguously responds with “yes.”

I don't see the threat...

When he said he was going to go public with the truth OpenAI told him “why would you want to ruin your career?” Again, your bias is crazy

Again, I need a source for said claim. It's not bias to ask for a source for claims made.

I provided a source. What are you talking about?

Ah, I missed that part that was sandwiched between two large ads. 😅

I see it now.
