A proposed ‘natural boundary’ for machines in mathematics
A user endorses Kevin Buzzard’s proposal to let machines explore math, then begin the journey toward wherever they get stuck.
TLDR
A user quotes and agrees with Kevin Buzzard’s prediction that machines will reach a new ‘natural boundary’ in mathematics, perhaps far beyond where we are now. Buzzard believes they will eventually get stuck at a point where spending more resources on the next big leap is no longer viable. He proposes letting machines run, seeing what happens, then beginning the journey toward where they stopped.
