Can we make them just spend one more year on this problem, for reasons?
ok we are definitely living in a simulation
mathematicians have spent 75 years working on the Hadwiger-Nelson problem, trying to figure out how many colors are needed to color the infinite Euclidean plane so that no two points exactly 1 unit apart share the same color.
the answer was known to be either 5, 6 or 7.
OpenAI’s new model apparently eliminated 5.
so after 75 years of mathematics the answer is literally
6 7
