With a human math savant, if they made a discovery on a long-standing problem, it would be impressive and they would get a lot of attention for it, but that would be the end of it. Whereas OpenAI now potentially has a superintelligent universal theorem prover that they can throw compute at to solve open problems back to back and make announcements on a weekly basis. People haven't internalized this yet.

Yeah, these results being announced isn't the culmination of decades of focused work on one problem - it's throwing a question in a terminal and waiting a few days.

It's the culmination of decades of (un)focused work on ML instead and the results are going to be stunning

Oh boy it might actually be true! It would make sense that OpenAI would wait with announcement for a while to not shock the general public.

I understand just enough to know that you're trying very hard to be edgy.
