Begin Proof — Noam Brown

Last month, an OpenAI model disproved a long-standing conjecture by Paul Erdős on the planar unit distance problem, producing a construction so intricate that verifying it took a team of external mathematicians a week. In the inaugural episode of Begin Proof, Slater Stich sits down with Noam Brown, who leads work on multi-agent reasoning and test-time compute at OpenAI, and was one of the key people behind o1, OpenAI's first public reasoning model. They talk about what the Erdős result actually means, where the models are superhuman and where they still aren't, and what working mathematicians will be doing in a few years.

Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know.
