OpenAI announced three new 'major' discoveries in math, computer science, and physics, less than a month after releasing hundreds of manuscripts it said contained solutions to long-standing math problems. This time, OpenAI says external experts it calls 'shepherds' guided the results, a change from its prior approach.

Based on a transcript excerpt: Wes Roth unpacks OpenAI's claim that its AI has disproved the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), explaining how this relates to the P versus NP problem and what it could mean for computer science, encryption, and AI. He also notes OpenAI president Greg Brockman's reassurance that P still probably does not equal NP, and cites Scott Aaronson's comments on AI's impact on physics.
