Find an unsolved problem
Use AI to solve it
Have AI teach you how it was solved
Bide your time, pretend to solve it on your own
Get that sweet Field medal!
(6. Get exposed as a fraud when you can't solve other related problems)
(7. Leave town with your medal and start a new life)
Just pretend to be retarded and only interested in the one problem, people love that shit. Might get a movie deal.
Honestly to get the Fields medal, you have to solve a problem so complex even the top tier mathematicians on this planet can't know for sure you solved it. Look at how long it took to prove Fermat's last theorem was actually solved (and it wasn't the first time he tried)
Assume it's right, who cares. I love math, but academic mathematicians need to find something else to do. Running around chasing prime number problems aren't of much use.
wouldn't there be some cryptography use in those?
Because next AI will solve physics problems to make nuclear weapons much simpler so every country can have them
We better get Iran solved now, I hear that AI is just two weeks for release!
Based. Arm both sides of some shitskin blood feud and let them annihilate each other.
Grant money! They all want that sweet, sweet DOD/ DARPA/ CERN/ NSF grant money, nigga! 😂
