AI Solves Decade-Old Math Problems, Prompting Soul-Searching Among Mathematicians

OpenAI recently announced that its AI system had solved 10 long-standing mathematics problems, some of which had stumped researchers for decades. The development has sparked serious reflection within the academic mathematics community about the future of the discipline. Oxford professor and Fields Medal winner James Maynard said he has spent much of the past year grappling with how AI will reshape his field. Like generative AI applied to text, images, and scientific research, these systems learn patterns from large volumes of existing material to reach new conclusions. The rapid pace of AI advancement is pushing the traditionally slow-moving field of mathematics to adapt faster than ever before.

Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t understand how to live

Mark Zuckerberg explains it all Recently, a man I was rock climbing with told me about how he'd used AI to make a motivational poster for himself, which he'd hung on his bedroom wall: a bear, walking a slackline over a canyon, holding a sign that said, "Do cool shit." I made what I hoped was a polite noise. What reaction was this man looking for? He probably hoped someone, maybe me, would say it was cool or inspiring. It seemed I was not the first person he'd told about this poster. "You know, it's funny," he said to me.

Trump Signs Executive Order Targeting Vaccine Policy Amid False Safety Claims

President Trump signed an executive order aimed at reshaping U.S. vaccine policy.
