“There’s a perception of mobster behavior” from leading AI companies, one mathematician tells WIRED as OpenAI prepares to release more than 100 new solutions to unsolved problems.

    TLDR:

    Most of the “mathematical breakthroughs” from AI have been done by loading all available recent research from humans solving the problem, and then collating it while skipping reviews and telling the humans who did the work it would literally be “too complicated” to explain the AI didn’t actually do anything…

    It’s all just lies to drive up stock prices, what they release appears to be stuff that would be released shortly anyways, it’s just being dumped at once 99% of the way done before it’s verified.

      Doing 10%, or less, of the work and taking credit for it. Add this to the bucket for “Reasons AI can replace the C-suite”

      It’s a 20/80 rule thing.

      Coming up with a proof is the first 20% of work. Actually checking and validating the proof is the next 80% of work.
