OpenAI says one of its general-purpose reasoning models has disproved an 80-year-old conjecture by mathematician Paul Erdős, a result validated by mathematicians but one that still leaves the deeper problem unsolved.

OPINION PIECES
LOVE THEM OR LOATHE THEM
Everyone has their own opinions on matters and I’m no different. I believe all opinions are important and have the right to be voiced, and firmly believe in the values of debate, diversity, and open mindedness, because being closed to any of these diminishes all of us in the long run. Here you can explore some of those opinions and points of view.
