Briefings
The author discusses a YouTube video by the 'Polylog' channel detailing Busy Beaver values, where they transposed two digits in BB(5). They also mention an in-person conversation with Brian Greene at Columbia University's math department and a recent OpenAI model refuting the Exponential Time Hypothesis for 3SAT.
Key points
- The author transposed two digits in the value of BB(5) during a cameo role in a 'Polylog' YouTube video.
- An OpenAI model has refuted the Exponential Time Hypothesis by providing an algorithm for 3SAT with time complexity scaling roughly like exp(n/log(n)).
Context
The author reflects on a recent trip to NYC to speak at Columbia University's math department, where they discussed AI topics including the Mathacre, firewall paradox, and computational complexity.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single YouTube video and a brief mention of an in-person conversation with Brian Greene. Specific dates for the video or the Greene conversation are not provided, and the OpenAI model's exact refutation details are not fully specified.
