How AIs actually work: writing scripts to brute-force search and verify
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-15
@MiraMira observes that AIs don't reason efficiently in a small search space or throw a 'gigabrain' at a large one — they just write tons of scripts to search and verify, e.g. hundreds of lines of Python doing Grobner basis or group theory checks humans would be too lazy to run. teortaxesTex adds this pattern generalizes beyond research math: models excel at ICL via oracles.
