Something tells me my prime minister would find this sign less amusing than I do.
It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Madeleine Tao for pi day (even if the photo below might suggest otherwise).

I get two or three emails a day from people wanting me to comment on their new mathematical theories, but today marked a first: the email began with the words "Dear Terence Tao". (To be clear, I wasn't being cc-ed in to a message to Terence Tao.)
It's not necessarily the end of mathematics, but it's hard to see how the all the social structures that support the subject will be able to avoid major disruption over the next few years.
Oops, missed this. Quite remarkable.
If you had a look and didn't find many, or even any, puzzles, that was because of a technical glitch that is now (I think) sorted out. There should be plenty of puzzles with both games -- enough to make them enjoyable.
I've created a couple of mathematical games, both based on word problems in groups or semigroups. One of them could lead to a Polymath project if enough people are interested in it, as it is connected with an open problem. More details in the linked blog post.
OpenAI's claim that this is a central conjecture in discrete geometry is not an exaggeration. This will I think be looked back on as the first time that AI solved a major mathematics problem (defined as a problem that all experts in some subfield had thought about).

An OpenAI model solved the 80-year-old unit distance problem, disproving a major conjecture in discrete geometry and marking a milestone in AI-driven mathematics.
