Almost nobody alive can. A trained mathematician said verifying a single one of those proofs would take weeks.
Today on ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง, Quentin and Stark pull the sharpest version of this week's theme out of that story: ๐ ๐ซ๐๐, ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ข๐ฅ๐.
Here's the flip that matters for your business. For years the hard part was getting the answer. Now the answer is cheap, fast and instant, and the hard part is knowing whether to trust it. The bottleneck moved.
Three numbers that are really one lesson: ๐
๐ ๐๐๐ง open problems, each stuck for a decade, solved or advanced in a single run
๐ About $๐,๐๐๐ total, roughly two hundred dollars a problem. The intelligence is nearly free
๐ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ฌ to verify just one answer. The scarce thing now is trust
And it shows up long before frontier maths. When AI drafts your contract or your numbers, it's fast and confident and cheap. The commentators who couldn't judge those proofs did something telling: they asked another AI how hard they were and used that as the verdict. We're checking AI's work with more AI.
Your move:ย
๐ด List every job you hand to AI and which model does it, cheap for routine, premium only for the hard stuff.ย
๐ด Note what each tool can log into.ย
๐ด Pick one thing AI produces and decide how you'll check it, a second source or a person who knows.
When answers are free and fast, the value is entirely in whether you can trust them. ๐๏ธ
