Back to EpisodesMeta's AI Co-Authored Five Solutions to Unsolved Math Problems
Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description
Meta published six mathematics papers this weekend co-authored by human mathematicians and Muse Spark — five of them addressing previously open problems, including a group-theory counterexample, an ellipsoid threshold, and a 2015 wave-collapse question. The collaboration model is honest and bounded: humans chose the problems, verified the results, Muse Spark did the heavy technical lifting. Also today: Google suspends its open-source bug bounty because AI hallucinated reports are overwhelming engineers, and Anthropic's Mythos found a critical Rejetto flaw that was exploited within 24 hours.
