The puzzle that stumped mathematicians for 80 years just fell to an AI
It's like an AI finally solved a Rubik's cube that humans had been rotating unsuccessfully since 1945 — and now researchers are genuinely surprised it worked.
This means machines can now crack open certain mathematical problems that seemed to require human intuition, which might unlock insights in areas like geometry and abstract algebra where we've been stuck.
