WHY ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST MATHEMATICIANS IS ON A ‘WAR FOOTING'
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Terence Tao, one of the world's greatest living mathematicians, is currently doing very little math. OpenAI's recent finding in the mathematical field has left him feeling used, as he previously had a good relationship with many employees at the company. Now, he sees them as only using math to evaluate their models, and can't see a way to constructively engage. Despite OpenAI's releases, most problems at the frontiers of math are unsolved, and as math remains infinite, the difficulty of problems is boundless.
