“Do you not think it is matter for sorrow that while Alexander, at my age, was already king of so many peoples, I have as yet achieved no brilliant success?”
— Julius Caesar at age 33
It looks like the whole “pacing the frontier” rhetoric was a tactic to appease disgruntled mathematicians who seem to be shell-shocked by the recent advances in AI.
There is no way anyone is slowing down when hundreds of billions of dollars is at stake.
September 2026 will be remembered as the month when mathematics was officially cooked.
🚨wtf. OpenAI says its new internal model it began training just 24 days ago has already resolved more than 100 long-standing open problems across most areas of mathematics.
The pace has surprised even OpenAI's own mathematicians.
An independent group including Edward Witten, Timothy Gowers and Martin Hairer is now helping assess the results and coordinate how they are released.
When David was still tending sheep in the hills of Judah, God already saw a great warrior who would one day reign as a king.
Why did Caesar weep before the statue of Alexander? I think about this often. Very few people “get it.”
Shakespeare was right. Caesar did “bestride the narrow world like a Colossus.” His spirit was too vast for what the Roman world could contain at that time. This is what eventually got him killed.
There are two types of people in this world: those who cook and those who get cooked. There is no in between.
The Ancient Greeks considered mathematics one of the highest forms of thought. Plato called it a gateway to the divine. It has now fallen to AI. There will be no more Newtons or Einsteins. The days of lone geniuses are over.
Humanity cannot end before Christ’s second coming. So there are two possibilities:
1) Christ will return before AI wipes us out
2) AI doesn’t wipe us out
However, this still does not preclude the possibility that AI is going to wipe SOME of us out.
AI is going to prove that God exists and Catholicism is true, and there’ll be nothing left to be said.
I don’t think even the most hardcore AI optimists expected this kind of acceleration. Absolutely insane.
OpenAI confirmed to the New York Times that they have made "substantial progress" on another Millennium Prize problem in the last five days, and are preparing to announce.
The rumors for the last 48 hours have been OpenAI solved the Hodge Conjecture, and that Anthropic has solved the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture. Since Navier-Stokes rumors abound, so I was reluctant to post about either. However, OpenAI's statement to the NYT now gives the Hodge rumors some very serious support.
In general people have not updated yet that the new unnamed OpenAI model, the one that finished training about two weeks ago, which I believe will be named Aeon, is massively better at math than Astra, which two weeks ago was the best in the world. Aeon solved Navier-Stokes in 88 hours, start to finish. Follow the trend line. That means everything is on the table. Literally everything. And this does not end with math. Please update. We are taking off.
