OpenAI claims its models have made 3 major discoveries in mathematics, computer science & physics.
One reportedly disproves the Exponential Time Hypothesis, a foundational assumption in computer science for 25 years.
Two researchers who originally proposed it are now helping verify the AI’s proof.
If this result survives independent scrutiny, AI will have done something more consequential than outperforming humans on a benchmark.
It will have overturned a foundational scientific assumption held by experts for decades.
