Episode 53
Lester and Krishna introduce two segments for the episode: AI progress on the Riemann hypothesis, and a summer transfer window segment tracking the exodus of American scientists.
- The transfer window segment was Lester's idea, framed around the sports transfer window format popular at this time of year.

0:3954 academic papers from archive. Perhaps Claude like many of us underestimates the rate of AI progress. Hello internet. This is your captain speaking Lester Narre joined as always by my co-host and our resident PhD Krishna Chowdery. We have a great episode today. We have two segments we're going to cover. The first one is going to be on the progress that Claude has been making on the Remon hypothesis in this explosion of progress as AI tackles many of these uh open problems and complex areas in mathematics and really understanding what's going on
1:20there. And we're going to end with a little bit of fun segment that I forced Krishna to do today, which is the summer transfer window for American scientists. As we've seen an exodus and as many sports at this time of the year are doing their transfers, I thought it would be great to do it in the same format, but for science. As always, we are going to talk about the science from the ground up today because this is from first principles.
From What Claude Actually Did to the Riemann Hypothesis
Claude takes a real run at the Riemann Hypothesis, forcing us to ask what agentic AI can now do in mathematics, before we open the summer transfer window for America’s scientists.
