@GaryMarcus @typingloudly Yep, it’s weird! But it also did give me 5 prime numbers that have almost certainly never written down before.

@littmath @typingloudly wild that it gave you completely different numbers when you said give them to me with no spaces.

@GaryMarcus @typingloudly Sure. I think you should actually play around with o3/gemini 2.5. https://chatgpt.com/share/682b7c…

@littmath @typingloudly does it share the code? can i see the prompt, please? just trying to understand why it succeeds where prior systems fail

@GaryMarcus @typingloudly Of course it used code. It’s generating 160 digit primes.

@littmath @typingloudly also what was the prompt and did it use (eg Python) code, do you know?

The statement 'impressive and weird both' is a lighthearted and conversational comment in response to a discussion about generating prime numbers using a system. It does not engage substantively with public issues or contribute to civic dialogue, thus it does not constitute public discourse.
