OpenAI president Greg Brockman announced three major scientific discoveries — one each in harmonic analysis (math), complexity theory (CS), and quantum field theory (physics) — saying "AI starting to help us improve our understanding of the universe." Reposter rmnth muses that just as 1905 was Einstein's annus mirabilis, we may soon regularly hear of some model's "Day of Miracles" — or maybe not. Details of the discoveries aren't spelled out in the thread.
