There is no way the design took two years and required supercomputers
But they had to crunch the numbers
Oh shit I take it back
Okay, I'll bite. Tell me more about how they did it.
He just did
The math is so complex that research into Pringles with ridges was considered a national secret and it was classified. DARPA was rumored to have provided partial funding.
Like Velcro and GPS, Pringle research came straight out of the US military-industrial complex, as a byproduct of the flying saucer research conducted at Area 51.
It took 3 seconds, and it was AI what figured it all out.
AI doesn't figure out shit.
Lol, you're both wrong. AI absolutely can assist, and sometimes be the main part in finding patterns/discoveries, but in the case of the hyperbolic plane, it was created by humans.
Exactly. The figuring out part is a human interpretation of the finding. No machine learning model of the current tech can reliably tell you if it found something new.
