‘Pure insanity’: Mathematicians will need years to make sense of OpenAI’s latest drop

By Robert Hart

"Staggering." "Overwhelming." "Unprecedented." "Surreal." "Pure insanity."

Those were among the descriptions more than three dozen mathematicians reached for in conversations with The Verge as they tried to make sense of the flood of mathematical results OpenAI abruptly dropped on the field this week. Amid the awe, excitement, and uncertainty over the sheer scale of the deluge was a deep-seated anxiety over what it all means - and what comes next. For all their different reactions, researchers agreed that simply understanding what OpenAI had released could take years, let alone figuring out where the mathematicians themselves fit in the fi …
