Toro on Nostr: Terence Tao just shared a ChatGPT conversation where he worked through the Jacobian ...
Terence Tao just shared a ChatGPT conversation where he worked through the Jacobian Conjecture with AI.
This is the guy who won the Fields Medal. One of the greatest living mathematicians on the planet.
The Jacobian Conjecture has been open since 1939. Sounds simple, has resisted every attack for over 85 years.
Tao didn't solve it in the conversation. But he showed his process. He's using LLMs as a thinking partner for problems at the absolute frontier of mathematics.
What stands out isn't that AI helped. It's that Tao felt comfortable enough to share the whole thing publicly.
When the best mathematician in the world shows his AI-assisted work, that's a signal to everyone else. This is how serious people are starting to think.
Are we paying attention yet?
