It is mind blowing that these long-standing conjectures and open questions are just falling by the dozen every other week. What a time to be alive.
How long until we see similar announcements for (wet lab) chemistry, medicine or material science? Months? Years? Never?
(Never would mean AI will be used in future labs like a fancy calculator, but not much more changes)

It’s accelerating. We can automate scientific discovery. Imagine the amount of knowledge we may have over the next several years. It could be staggering.

I have a strong sense that there's many more CS problems falling than will be released quickly. CS starts to get tangible / actionable pretty quickly.
Chasing open questions, it seems to me, is worthwhile for the things learned along the way. Do you expect these results will be helpful, or is it just a sign that we need a new way to navigate uncharted spaces now that longstanding problems don't stand long enough for us to organize around?
It feels a bit like having "visited" a place because you had a layover there.

Seeing a physics result in there has got me hyped.
Turn this loose on LHC data ASAP.

I know, it's awful. How do we get OpenAI to stop before they ruin math forever? /s
