OpenAI just broke physics...
OpenAI announced its AI has disproved the Exponential Time Hypothesis, potentially challenging decades of computer science and suggesting shortcuts for problems previously considered impossibly hard. This breakthrough could have significant implications for encryption and AI, connecting to the P versus NP problem and the concept of a “cheat code” to the universe. The discussion explores OpenAI’s announcement, the Exponential Time Hypothesis, and the role of AI in mathematics.
This report uniquely connects OpenAI's claim of disproving the Exponential Time Hypothesis to its implications for encryption and the P versus NP problem, unlike other accounts that only cover the announcement itself.
