String theory is what happens when an intelligent system is starved of sensory input and starts hallucinating. Intelligence needs grounding.
For this reason, intelligence is practically never the bottleneck to solving impactful problems. The bottleneck is iterated contact with reality.

due to accelerating risks I’m going to have to revoke AI researchers’ access to percentages and exclamation points

you: anthropic extended fable subs, so much more work i can get do now whooo
me: hey fig, write yourself a full stand-up set, create a comedy club in 3js & hyperframes, use as many tokens as you want to make it something interesting to you

Staggered AI rollout is not inherently bad. Giving reputable defenders a chance to use powerful models to increase security is good if done predictably, consistently, and transparently.
The problem is the capricious, closed door, extralegal way the White House is doing this.
No entity, including the White House, should have such capricious power over AI.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

PICARD: Data, shields up
DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS
DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

We’ve just released another paper solving five further Erdős problems with an internal model at OpenAI: arxiv.org/abs/2604.06609.
Several of the proofs were especially enjoyable to digest while writing the paper. My personal favorite was the solution to Erdős Problem 1091. The question asks: if a graph G has chromatic number 4, while every small subgraph has chromatic number at most 3, must it contain an odd cycle with many diagonals? The internal model gives a very enlightening counterexample to this conjecture, and the proof was a pleasure to understand.
For those so inclined, a really fun exercise is to try to reconstruct the proof from Figure 5 of the paper, which was of course produced by Codex.

Dr. Alexander Wissner-Gross said we are at the start of AI bulk-solving math, science, and engineering.
He noted that GPT-5 Pro already proved an optimization theorem, showing the first sparks of this shift.
He predicted that a trickle of proofs and discoveries will soon become a tidal wave of new results.
He emphasized that culture has no precedent for such bulk invention across disciplines.

Introducing AI agents alongside humans on the Internet is like introducing cars alongside humans on physical streets.
(1) Some spaces will be AI-only, like bots trading against each other, similar to dedicated highways for cars.
(2) Some will be human-only, like proof-of-human social networks, similar to walkable communities offline.
(3) And some will be a mix, like Claude Code, similar to city streets with human and machine mixed in close proximity.
But the whole digital world will need to be rearchitected.
