Elon Musk introduced Grok 4 in early July. He said its so powerful it now exceeds all phd in every discipline and that he expects a number of scientific discoveries based on its use before the end of the year. He further said that Grok 5 will still more powerful. He expect Grok 5 to cause a new physics before the end of 2026.
Both Chatgpt and google deepmind competed in a math olympiad in the last couple of weeks. Both programs aced all questions. This has never been done before.
what AI people are saying now is that AI has now perfected both all math and all computer programming. They are now working on making the programs that runs scientific questions to be self iterative. That means that rather than the scientists asking the questions, getting answers, and then asking more questions—the computers do all that.
As of now the AI does roughly 20% of that. That percentage is going to rise over the next year. As the percent approaches 100% the speed of new discoveries is going to increase—including a new physics.
The new physics is what will enable us to einstein’s speed limit and take us to the stars.
Star Trek figured the first warp engines will be developed in 2062 or there abouts. But it might come sooner.
We lost a lot of potential advancement when the Texas Super Collider got cancelled for 'budget considerations' - after many millions had already been spent excavating and preparation. Now that's strictly Europe's domain with CERT and they damn sure share their discoveries with our enemies before us. Penny wise and pound foolish, long gone politicians.
Hopefully A.I. will help us get to the future and not get to the position of allowing us to. As the movie said "Skynet decided our fates in a microsecond."
