OpenAI’s “Alien Math” Is Freaking People Out
OpenAI released hundreds of mathematical results—and a group of mathematicians called for a boycott. Scott Aaronson calls it the “Mathocalypse,” while Vitalik Buterin and Justin Drake warn about what AI-driven discoveries could mean for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and encryption. We explore the backlash, the strange new proofs, and why Anthropic is drawing a line around how people treat Claude. ______________________________________________ My Links 🔗 ➡️ Twitter: https://x.com/WesRothMoney ➡️ AI Newsletter: https://natural20.beehiiv.com/subscribe Want to work with me?
