In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 years.

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 years. OpenAI gave several mathematicians early access to the result and published their reactions . Tim Gowers —who won the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematics—wrote that “there is no doubt that the solution to the unit-distance problem is a milestone in AI mathematics.” University of Toronto professor Daniel Litt wrote that “this is the first example of a result produced autonomously by an AI that I find exciting in itself, as opposed to as a leading indicator.” Read full article Comments

Welcome to the Mideast Money newsletter, I’m Adveith Nair . Join us each week as my team and I chronicle the intersection of money and power in a region that’s become one of the most influential in global finance. You can sign up here . This week: Billionaire Alabbar and the UAE’s biggest listed firm are eyeing a troubled conglomerate , Abu Dhabi wealth funds are raising billions through a share sale spree, and a Hong Kong-traded firm is exploring a Gulf listing . But first , wealth funds are taking a harder line to protect their investments. The Qatari wealth fund’s ongoing pursuit of Indian entrepreneur Byju Raveendran , who was last week sentenced to six months in jail by a Singapore court, is the latest example of Middle Eastern sovereign investors moving aggressively to safeguard their capital. Raveendran founded educational technology firm Think & Learn — better known as Byju’s — which attracted capital from global firms including the Qatar Investment Authority and was among India’s highest-profile tech startups before a post-Covid slump pummeled the business. The once high-flying entrepreneur is facing claims from foreign investors around the world, including in the US where lenders are fighting to claw back losses from a $1.2 billion loan that soured. Following the Singapore court order, a QIA spokesperson said the fund will continue pursuing repayment of the debts owed to it, adding that no settlement appears achievable . Those comments are a stark reflection of how the custodians of Gulf petrodollars are adopting a more assertive approach to investments around the world. In the US, Energy & Minerals Group had already lined up investors for a continuation fund of at least $800 million when Abu Dhabi Investment Council sued over the maneuver and halted the process . The fund ultimately lost and the transaction proceeded , though the lawsuit was seen as a rare public rebuke of a partner it’s backed for years. ADIC is a unit of Mubadala Investment, a wealth fu...

btgbtg/iStock via Getty Images In only two more weeks, Switzerland will hold a referendum that could completely reshape its economy. Citizens will decide on whether to cap the country's population at 10M due to concerns about overcrowding and rising anti-immigrant sentiment across Europe. It's a big deal, since Switzerland already has over 9.1M residents, meaning current immigration would need to be halved in the coming decades. For or against: The "No to ten million" immigration initiative was launched by the Swiss People's Party, though support currently appears to be split across the population. Backers of the measure say Switzerland has reached capacity, with strained infrastructure and housing, congested roads and trains, as well as the social security system. Those who oppose the measure argue that the country has absorbed immigration well, which has led to integration, growth and the nation's success. Many business executives are alarmed, as the initiative would also bar highly skilled workers from being employed in the country (not just asylum seekers or refugees). Case in point: In Zurich, Alphabet ( GOOGL ) employs over 5,000 foreign workers from 85 countries, while notable drugmaker Roche ( RHHBY ) employs thousands of workers at its Basel/Kaiseraugst campus from more than 100 countries. "Switzerland cannot meet the need for bright minds on its own," Roche ( RHHBY ) Chairman Severin Schwan declared earlier this year. "It's vital to keep the borders open for top talent." EU danger: A hard cap on the total permanent resident population, whether citizen or foreigner, contradicts the fundamental principle of free movement within the European Single Market. That could lead to a rupture with the EU, which is Switzerland's largest trading partner and biggest export destination. It wouldn't be easy to jeopardize access to the $23T economy and its 450M consumers, and might lead to renegotiated or terminated bilateral agreements. Seeking Alpha survey: As the Swiss ...
