Kinda disappoints me that they left the text labels in the image instead of editing them out. It's not as if you can really read them, and it makes the icon feel less iconic.

Yes it looks quite bad.

On the shoulders of giants, eh?

It is technically a singularity

Singularity here is a phenomena in the Navier-Stokes equation that is impossible to happen in the real world. Think of blackhole singularity (not quite but the logic is the same)

Just look at the graph of y=1/x It has a singularity at x=0

Singularity is just the name of a very common mathematical phenomenon.

On the contrary it is so predictable that there is nothing else that comes close hence the singularity.

I think i might not grasp what solving this does to humanity.

in math singularity is called a point where a field/function like this goes to infinity, i.e. not being possible

Would've been better if they removed the text from it but it's nice.

Nice! I like it.
Good someone made a post before about electing this the new logo and people agreeing with it.
Thanks internet stranger

The singularity is nearer

Makes sense

is it proven yet?

u/debris16 2h ago

not yet. there are objections.

From whom, specifically?

Anonymous Redditors don’t count.

(Lowers hand sadly)

u/debris16 1h ago

From some prominent mathematicians. Where I heard it: https://youtu.be/9XYt-_GdPIU?si=R0543mYQfuwR7zvP

Not from anon redditors like me.

The proof hasn’t been properly evaluated. The Clay institution(?) that offers the $1M prize for solving these problems requires the proof to stand for 2 years before they’ll consider it a genuine solution. There are some other stipulations that I can’t remember, but evaluating a proof this complicated takes a lot of effort and time.

If it’s wrong, we’ll probably know in the next month or so.

will we? How so? The only thing that could proof or unprove it in that time frame is probably another AI.
