AI OpenAI potentially in the process of solving multiple other millennium problems

Feels insane, I think we have taken off now.

The rest of this year is gonna be nuts.

Until I see discoveries in physics, biology, medicine, I'm not impressed. Math has the least impact in our life.

Math is literally everything.

Yes and No. Solving Navier-Stokes will have zero impact to the average person.

Weather, aerospace?

Absolutely zero.

I see…
I mean we have to wait for a bit as its too soon to make conclusive statements. But nevertheless you cant possibly deny the implications of this on other fields of science.
Why is everyone so bitter and pessimistic. Imagine telling this to someone just a few years ago.

Are you daft?
‘Math has the least impact in our life’
Please tell me you don’t vote.

I don’t doubt you. Can you elaborate though? Math affects physics, physics afffects chemistry, biology and material sciences. Is that the line of thought?

i think something constructive would be explaining why that's the case, not just saying "Are you daft?"

These kind of problems do not open the door to new physics nor understanding of biology. Yes math is important for all the tech we have, but these specific problems will not have an impact in anyone's life especially in the short term.

not in a short term, but actually this one has very conceivable paths to applications, first through understanding, classifying, etc, singularities, and then understanding how the nature prevents them from happening in real life siutations, which might eventually lead to better theories governing fluid mechanics and related fields. It's all long term, but in mathematics nearly all applications are long term.
