It's a new conjecture, all right. But it's clearly false.

Consider n=4. Then p=5, q=3, k=1. But 5+1 and 3+1 are not primes.

All you number theorists out there, I think your jobs are safe for the time being.

I don't know. A bit more than a year ago GPT2 was somewhere in a lab trying to learn how to tie shoelaces.

You couldn't have chosen a worst example than tying shoes to illustrate your point

Fair enough. The point still holds though. At least from the outside it seems things are fast and just accelerating.

It's not saying its proof is true though, it just posed a conjecture. Proving it would be a whole different ballgame.

Yeah, what is it surprise you that it can literally make something up that looks compelling. That’s all that happened here. This is far from the most interesting thing GPT can do.

This post made me finally unsub, it's insufferable

Some are trying to revive the spirit of r/machinelearning in r/learningmachines .
