AI 2027 timeline chart: OpenAI model to settle 80-year-old Erdős problem by 2028
mallow610 · x · 2026-10-18
The attached chart from the AI 2027-style forecast timeline shows a node where an OpenAI model settles the 80-year-old Erdős distinct-distances problem in 2028, followed by milestones like a Navier-Stokes breakthrough (2027) and most of the Erdős problem list cleared (2028). The poster argues AI cracking such a problem would be a significant signal. The full graph traces tech evolution from vacuum tubes and transistors through the Transformer to decades of predicted future events.
