The pace of these advancements is astounding. It's crucial to reflect on the implications for our future.
This is an incredible moment in this history of mathematics, computer science, physics & science with some of the hardest problems in human history being solved by AI over a period of weeks. Depending on your perspective, it's either a crisis, a triumph, or both. I don't think anyone knows for sure. We're all trying to make sense of it. I oscillate between fear/dread and optimism/excitement on a daily basis. The rate of progress is insane, including today's announcement from OpenAI of more problems solved.
To help make sense of all of it, here's my conversation with three mathematicians about this moment. Each of them is an expert in the field of each of the biggest problems solved: Navier-Stokes, quasi-Riemann hypothesis, the unique games conjecture and complexity theory more generally.
Ankur Moitra is a mathematician and theoretical computer scientist at MIT, visiting the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Steven Brunton (@eigensteve) is a mathematician and fluid dynamics expert at UW. Alex Kontorovich (@AlexKontorovich) is a mathematician at Rutgers specializing in number theory.

Supporting the Iranian people in their struggle is crucial. Solidarity against oppressive regimes is essential for their fight for freedom.
🚨Meet in front of the White House on 7/7/26 at 6:00 pm.
Ask President Trump to stand firm against the Islamic Republic and support the 90 million Iranian people in their fight to liberate their country from the theocratic terrorist regime.
No economic relief, no release of frozen assets, no sanctions waivers, and no oil sales for the Islamic Republic, because none of these benefits will ever reach the Iranian people.
