I've recently got in on the act of getting AI to solve open problems in mathematics. More precisely, I gave some questions asked by Melvyn Nathanson to ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, to which I have been given access, and it answered them. 🧵
I write about this in more detail in a blog post with a guest contribution from Isaac Rajagopal, a student at MIT on whose work ChatGPT built, who gives his assessment of the level of mathematical ability displayed by the model.

But the tl;dr version is that the model proved a result that in my assessment would have made a perfectly reasonable chapter in a PhD thesis. It did this in a total of a couple of hours, with a few prompts from me that contained no mathematical input whatsoever.

While investigations are underway by Indian agencies, #Bangladesh sources have informed that one JAMAL R/o Rajshahi division was sent by Hizb Ut-Tahrir for a bounty of 20 Lakh Taka to do the job.

🚨 Chief Judge Shelly Dick has transferred a challenge to Louisiana's suspension of congressional primaries to the panel overseeing the redraw of the state's congressional map.
This panel previously struck down the map as a racial gerrymander and was affirmed by SCOTUS.

This is a loss for Democrat-aligned groups hoping to block a redraw. They filed in the Middle District because President Obama appointed all of the judges to its bench.
The panel of judges overseeing the redraw is majority Republican-appointed.

Chief Judge Dick holds that the case belonged before the Western District because that court is already overseeing Louisiana’s post-Callais redistricting remedy, and letting another federal court intervene risked “conflicting judgments” over use of the invalidated SB8 map.

Since you have now chosen to publicly puncture the carefully manufactured myth that the now disbanded “Obidient Movement” was some pristine, spontaneous uprising untouched by money or coordination, perhaps it is only fair that Nigerians hear the full story

2. So, by your own admission, people were hired and paid to “mobilise” for protests and court appearances?
Interesting. You see why I am compelled to disband the movement now?
I had thought the script we all agreed to with Peter Obi was that this was an entirely organic movement

3. millions of passionate Nigerians, driven solely by conviction, patriotism, and a burning desire for change. Not bank alerts, hired logistics, and backstage coordination.
So where exactly are the so called 10 million “organic followers” if mobilisation required financial

Currently working on a new version of the theoretical transit plan: Wasatch Connect.
Previous versions relied heavily on investments into Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) but after running multiple scenarios, many of the planned BRT lines got overcrowded(1/7)
Currently working on a new version of the theoretical transit plan: Wasatch Connect.
Previous versions relied heavily on investments into Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) but after running multiple scenarios, many of the planned BRT lines got overcrowded(1/7)
This included existing BRT lines like the UVX and OGX, and the planned corridors on State Street (SLC), Redwood Road, 3500 South, 5600 West, and Washington Blvd (Ogden). The BRT lines would have to meet headways of 2/- minutes to carry the load, so rail is being pushed (2/7)
Previously planned light rail corridors/extensions:
-Red Line to Bluffdale
-Orange Line (Airport-University of Utah Research Park)
-Green Line to Amphitheater*
-Blue Line to Lehi
-Bluffdale to Provo via the Point development and State Street (UTCo)
-S-Line to Huntsman

The freedom of speech protected by the Constitution was designed to support the principles of the Preamble, including the promotion of domestic tranquility. Free speech is a fundamental American right, but it does not give anyone the authority to unlawfully incite violence, …
threaten public safety, or deliberately disrupt the peace of the nation. Those who misuse speech in ways that violate the law or endanger others should be held accountable through the legal system and due process.

🚨 BREAKING - According to the newly GOV released UFO Files 1969 Apollo 11 Astronaughts did see multiple UFOs on the moon and it shocked them to their core.
The UFOs sort of tailgated them , objects thats resembling space crafts and fluids looking objects (Possibly Plasma) .
NOW YOU KNOW WHY THEY LOOKED MORTIFIED IN THE APOLLO 11 PRESS BRIEFING IN 1969.
These are more interesting than the FLIR footages they released.
More images of the documents in the comments.

New paper: AI is good at lots, but labs think automating one thing might be especially important – AI research itself
What happens if you embed this into a standard economic growth model? When do you get an ‘economic singularity’?

The impact of AI-driven automation of AI research – “recursive self-improvement” – is governed by 3 forces:
(1) Diminishing returns: ‘ideas getting harder to find’
(2) Bottlenecks: complementarity (Baumol)
(3) Spillovers from AI to other parts of the economy

Those forces pop out of our generalized version of the canonical semi-endogenous growth model, featuring:
1. An innovation network: new ideas at Nvidia spill over to new ideas at OpenAI (and vice versa)
2. AI-driven automation: “software × hardware” replacing humans

Robert Rogers grew up on the New Hampshire frontier, where the line between settler and soldier didn't exist.
He learned to track, hunt, and fight from Native scouts and woodsmen.
By 30, the British were paying him to do what he'd been doing his whole life.

In 1757, the British Army was getting slaughtered in the woods of North America.
Their formal European tactics were useless against French and Native ambushes.
Rogers proposed something radical: small, fast units that fought like the enemy fought.
The most famous mission came in 1759, when Rogers led 200 men 400 miles through enemy territory to destroy an Abenaki base.
After completing the mission, the hard part was making in home in the snow. Almost half of the force was lost in the brutal conditions.
