Grant Sanderson (@3blue1brown) – AI disproved a famous math conjecture. Now what?

تفصیل

Always so much fun to chat with @3blue1brown AI has been making much faster progress in math than in other fields. As a result, mathematics is showing us, very concretely, what AI progress in other fields will look like. Even within mathematics, there's a jagged landscape. What does it look like? What is the nature of the most important conceptual breakthroughs in the history of mathematics, and how different are they from what AIs are currently able to do? Does AI (on net) increase or decrease human understanding of the field? How big is the overhang from having AIs systematically try to connect ideas already in the literature? And what advice does Grant have for aspiring mathematicians, coders, and other students who are passionate about fields that are being most transformed upon by AI?

It detects more than 70 languages and translates them in near real-time… and it preserves your original pacing and intonation. If you're building an app that needs live translation, you should check out Gemini 3.5 Live Translate.

For example, Cursor cuts out the ads from each episode I produce so I can post them on Bilibili. It also helps me prep for interviews — I have a repo full of books and papers that Cursor sorts through to find the exact right file for any given question.

He actually just recorded an interview with a few of them, so when we sat down for this epi
