I'd still call this fancy autocomplete. I imagine the jump from this, to "come up with an interesting new branch of math to explore", is a long way off.

Just to nitpick, while unlikely, it is theoretically possible that the second player has a winning strategy
To nitpick a little further, it actually is not possible that the second player has a winning strategy. For that to be the case, P2 would need a winning path of play no matter what P1's first move is. Suppose that P1 passes on their first move (which is a valid move). Then P2 has a winning path of play in which they put down the first stone. But P1 could have made that move and then they would be on the winning path.
Good point, I actually wasn't that they could pass the first move

#103I'm asking this question out of ignorance: if you were able to do this, why would you make it public for $10MM instead of keeping it private and exploiting it. Say, in algorithmic trading models?
I'm answering this out of naivete: some people want to benefit humankind over their personal interests.
In that case, why would you be motivated by a $10m prize?

#104Before gold at the math Olympiad, it would be nice if GPT 4 could merely evaluate an expression like this into an exact solution : 3 + 1 / (3 + 1 / (3 + 1/3))
Works for me... https://cloud.typingmind.com/share/29d28743-b6a7-4716-b1aa-a...
That’s helpful thank you.
Would you mind trying it 4 times and tell how many succeed?
I see it work occasionally but seems See here: https://chat.openai.com/share/6da22a7b-b8f8-4611-b5f7-38048f...

I totally disagree. I think it is more likely we will have quantum chips running your iphone before this prize gets cashed (and I am a bit of a quantum computing sceptic).
For comparison, even field medalists sometime struggle with getting gold medal in the time allocated or identify the trick needed in solving an IMO question.
The difficulty difference between solving an IMO level 6 problem and solving an open math problem is much smaller than most imagine.

Worked 6/6 times for me.

To clarify, I as a relatively well-off adult would consider donating towards such a prize pool with the explicit intent of drawing people who aren't as willing or able to give money themselves towards solving a problem that I believe would benefit humankind. That is, I have a personal interest in that outcome (especially as compared to that tech being closed and controlled by governments/corporations) and would be willing to donate money to motivate others to join this effort and make this model open source.

I don't think research math is that accessible! Granted theoretically it's possible to just read papers and do research--and possibly it's theoretically as accessible as possible. In practice people learn better with teachers and access to experts at the research level. If this pans out, we can commoditize access to experts (or even experts).
But even in 1913 a brilliant mathematician from the middle of nowhere could access a world class mentor. I would assume that this is so much easier these days. What would stand in the way of a modern day math prodigy from getting accepted into a good program? Or is it about making this more accessible to students who are "merely good" rather than brilliant?
yes I mean more accessible to the general public yes.

I see no reason to believe such a machine would be helpful for algorithmic trading. Why should it?
How well do current gold medalists do in trading?
Re: $10M AI Mathematical Olympiad Prize
#110Winning a gold medal here will really be a leap forward for AI creativity and deep insight into problem solving. AI already is already contributing in substantial ways to research. What’s tantalizing here is this next level would take a huge step toward accelerating the pace of advancements in many fields. It will be a milestone in moving past AI being a mere tool in scientific progress to something much greater.
I sense you are a techno-optimist.
Maybe somewhat, but is anything I said that much of a leap?
Do you consider AI to have already considered substantially to the advancement of science?
For example AlphaFold, Weather forecasting, Algorithm optimization, etc
