But how did they do it? Theres no doubt about computing power, but I feel like we never get the full story from OpenAI www.forbes.com/sites/the-pr...

Ethan Mollick@emollick.bsky.social · 5d agoOpenAI "has now resolved more than 100 long-standing open problems across most areas of mathematics," and is waiting to release them until after discussions with the math community The same thing will likely happen, but more so, with the Bar, the AMA & other professions. openai.com/index/adviso...
![A degree in CS mostly prepares students to become computer scientists, just as a history degree mostly prepares students to be historians. The idea is not that every student will become an academic— few do—but that the initial training in this direction will prepare students for varied pursuits. When the world changes, Erat argues, the student who studied CS will have the creativity to “learn how to search, how to integrate things.” But for the student who just used AI to make programs, he said, “It’s going to be impossible.”
Conversely, CS professor Lin Zhong thinks Yale’s core CS curriculum is “stuck in the 1980s.” He wants students to develop the AI expertise that they would need as professional software engineers. “If your student[s] don’t learn how to use [AI], they lose their job,” he said. Students in Zhong’s Computer Systems Design course earn extra credit for using AI creatively to do their homework.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a6m5puxjmwuwxhuviabkhg67/bafkreidr3hlf3v5bi3c4dwzguxvi2khyjm4tmr5unm4funrdwyqjgvys2m)
