Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future? Credit...Illustrations by Yoshi ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

Goldbach’s conjecture sounds almost too simple: every even number greater than two should be the sum of two primes. Mathematicians have chased it for nearly 300 years, a publisher once offered $1 ...

3 Body Problem seasons 2 and 3 may not feature one actor from season 1. Based on the novel by Liu Cixin, the sci-fi Netflix series from creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo released ...

It used to be easy enough to distinguish between human-made and AI-generated imagery — just two years ago, you couldn’t use image models to create a menu for a Mexican restaurant without inventing new ...

Swalwell’s that ends well. Or maybe not, for California Democrats. They lost a frontrunner, and they don’t have a replacement yet. Eric Swalwell quit the race for California governor on Sunday night, ...

Netflix has plenty of great original sci-fi hits in its library, and while Stranger Things may be the first one that comes to mind, one of its biggest new breakout entries in the genre was 3 Body ...
