Hard mathematics problems used to take years if not decades to tackle manually. But now with enough compute and a hint that a certain approach might work, it just takes a few days. This could be the last year that humans could still make more substantial contribution to major match problems than machines.


And everyone should be glad for that!


What line of work are you in? Presumably not mathematics.


I have a math PhD and publications in top journals, I left math for programming because I hated academic politics


Um.... good! Mission accomplished.
