A community in-joke around AI-discovered faster multiplication algorithms: jonathanstray marvels at watching faster multiplication algorithms invented in real time, recalling how stunned he was learning the classic n-log-n algorithm, and wonders whether linear-time integer multiplication is actually possible. @julianschiavo riffs on the trend with an extrapolation chart joking that "updated data suggests we will reach linear time integer multiplication at 8:33am tomorrow morning." The thread reflects the cultural shock from systems like AlphaEvolve steadily improving matrix multiplication bounds.
