Nate Soares (MIRI): In sci-fi books and movies, AI solving a bunch of math problems that stood open for decades would’ve been a big deal. Why isn’t the mainstream media turning this into a bunch of sensational stories?
I hate to say it, but because it is math and a lot of the public don’t like math. They should care, and there should be coverage. But boiling frog syndrome and nerdiness quotient, and this means no coverage.
I suspect you are correct on both counts. And I had not considered this angle. Thank you.
