@littmath @GaryMarcus @typingloudly And 2025 isn't really that interesting anyway, the point is the trajectory, which seems blazingly obvious. There is no chance that within a year or two the models won't unambiguously ace this question, I hope no one's debating that.

@littmath @GaryMarcus @typingloudly So sure the transcript illustrates the point that the models remain kind of clunky and untrustworthy. But it also illustrates that the 2025 answer to "Can the current best public models generate large rare primes" is "Yes".

@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
