I solved a 12yr math problem using AI (formalized; awaiting review) [pdf]

In the maker’s words

I just noticed it takes literally ~5 minutes to train millions parameters on slow CPU...but before you call Yudkowsky that "it's over", an important note: the main bottleneck is the corpus size, params are just 'cleverness' but given limited info it's powerless. Anyway, here is the project: https://github.com/bggb7781-collab/lrnnsmdds/tree/main couple of notes: 1. single C file, no dependencies. Below are literally all the "dependencies", not even custom header (copy paste from the top of the single c file): #define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200809L #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <math.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <stdbool.h> #include <float.h> #include <getopt.h> #include <errno.h> 4136 lines of code in one file at the moment, that's all. 2. easiest way to compile on Windows: download Cygwin ( https://www.cygwin.com/ ), then navigate to th…
