Scott Aaronson thinks the singularity has already started—and says he’s heard that AI companies are sitting on major mathematical breakthroughs they haven’t released. As the debate over OpenAI’s Navier–Stokes result continues, a bigger question is emerging: what happens when machines can make discoveries that humans struggle to understand? We explore the warning signs, the backlash, and what scientific progress could mean for human purpose.
