October 2026 will go down in history as the month the universe changed, but most people didn't notice. The technology company OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has published solutions to 722 basic math problems. Many of these problems have puzzled humanity for decades, but the Large Language Model (LLM), which was only 11 days old, disproved them. Artificial intelligence has already solved some mathematical conjectures, but this was something beyond the realm of possibility. "This is at least ten times and perhaps 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 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 think seriously about realities that would have seemed absurd and fantastic only a few months ago. To think otherwise would be presumptuous 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 of this year gave us just a taste of the decisions we will have to make as artificial intelligence rises to the top of the list of human concerns. What is the future of people living side by side with aliens? beautiful or scary; zero or infinite. This is a sequel to Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species. We have already crossed the event horizon. - From the article: "The first alien we meet may be a super-intelligent artificial intelligence," the magazine predicts, of course, that unlike the cart, which is on the deep periphery of intellectual life, this event was distinguished by X. But even there people talk mostly about nonsense.
