October 2026 will go down in history as the month the universe changed, but most people didn't notice. The technology company OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, has published solutions to 722 elementary math problems. Many of these problems have baffled humanity for decades, but a large language model (LLM) that was only 11 days old disproved them. Artificial intelligence has already solved some mathematical conjectures, but this was something unusual. "It's at least ten, maybe a hundred times more significant than the proof of Fermat's last theorem," said Abhishek Saha, professor of mathematics at Queen Mary University of London. Joshua Gans of the University of Toronto went even further: “This is probably the greatest day of scientific progress in history,” and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said, “Life goes on, but something fundamental has changed. ".
Now that we have let the genie out of the bottle, we must seriously contemplate such realities that a few months ago would have seemed ridiculous and fantastic. To think otherwise would be arrogance on the part of humanity. One of the experts in the film, Shaw, describes humanity as a disposable species that may be destined to be left behind. There is a lot at stake. October this year just gave us an early taste of the decisions we will have to make, with artificial intelligence leading the list of human concerns. What is the future of humans living alongside aliens? beautiful or scary; zero or infinite. This is a sequel to Charles Darwin's 'Descent of Species'. We have already crossed the event horizon. From the article: "The first alien we meet may be a super-intelligent artificial intelligence", Tsofa magazine.
Of course, unlike the cart, which is on the deep fringes of intellectual life, in X this event is examined.
