@littmath @typingloudly i just replied elsewhere.

rare prime means one referred to less often (perhaps never) in the corpus.

Wondering — do you understand what out of distribution actually means? It means rarely (or never) used in the corpus, and (by some metric) no similar to what was used.

@GaryMarcus @typingloudly Sorry, can you make your point explicitly? I have no idea what a “rare” prime is supposed to be and I’m a number theorist.

@littmath @typingloudly one that is rarely discussed in the corpus.

thus precisely on point.

@GaryMarcus @typingloudly That said I just looked at the conversation and I don’t think it really shows anything very interesting, even about GPT 4.1. What is a “rare prime”?

@GaryMarcus @typingloudly Yes, GPT 4.1 is not very good at math. No one disputes this.

The statement is a technical inquiry about a prompt and potential use of code, likely related to a discussion on rare primes and AI capabilities. It does not engage in public discourse as it lacks substantive engagement with broader societal issues.
