I'm not going to win a Fields Medal, but here is the repo that I have been using this week to research cellular automata with AI agents (and yes, I think that there is a good chance that I have found something new) github.com/timClicks/turmite…

I got laughed at so hard around 2010 for mentioning the Singularity and how machine learning techniques are going to radically change what we think of as possible.
"Our initial evaluation suggested that GPT-6-Astra's score was in the late eighties followed closely by Opus 5.5. But, as we started to investigate the mistakes that the models might have made, the models, especially Astra, insisted that they were right and that it was the expert-supplied answers that were erroneous. When we went back to the experts it turned out, in multiple instances, that that the experts found some subtle errors buried deep inside their calculations. As they revised their answers, Astra's score started to inch up and it finally ended up with 98% (49/50)."

But is a zerg rush kind of guy or a carrier rush kind of guy?
Ben Affleck says he spent 3 years at home playing StarCraft after becoming famous “There was a game called StarCraft that probably took the most life out of me for a period of time. I had just got famous and all I did was stay home for three years and play StarCraft” “I love Valorant. It's a great game. The problem with that game is that with kids that have been raised playing, I just get f**king rocked. I'm like, ‘Are you f**king cheating?’ And I get mad. It's very humiliating” “I love 2K. I love Madden. And the early Doom, when I first played that game, which then gave rise to Quake. We played that endlessly for hours when we were doing Good Will Hunting. I remember writing and taking these long breaks to play Doom”

Am fairly confident that my personal autoresearch project would result in immediate Reject by reviewers. Gemini thinks otherwise:

But if you push your country upwards, does it make it easier to move rightwards? Or is the causation reversed?

Rare to see ragebait this good nowadays.
You may have noticed that the word for ‘night’ in many languages appears to be that language’s word for ‘eight’ with an ‘N' in front of it. English: N + eight = Night German: N + acht = Nacht French: N + huit = Nuit Spanish: N + ocho = Noche Italian: N + otto = Notte Portuguese: N + oito = Noite ⬇️
