Impact shared an excerpt from France Info in which Mohamed, 18, explained that he obtained a general baccalaureate in mathematics and physics-chemistry and made 80 applications to IFSI, without receiving any admissions. He mentioned that he found himself without a school or job and had protested despite his peaceful temperament. Mohamed believed that the media primarily highlighted the damage and looting, to the detriment of the demands regarding purchasing power. He referenced the Yellow Vests, whose demonstrations had, in his opinion, achieved results, and expressed his desire to continue the mobilizations, without violence, until the demands were heard. He added that the rise in fuel prices now forced him to monitor every expense related to his travel and outings. #Manifestation #BAC #PouvoirDAchat (translated)

The author praised a remarkable investigation into the questions of the mathematical community in response to the rise of AI, which he believes has been rekindled by OpenAI's announcement of a demonstration concerning 372 major mathematical problems. He adopted its title: "I fear I may have done all this for nothing." (translated)

Thomas Portes wrote that a trainee math teacher and a student had been confronted by the national police in front of the Henri-Wallon school in Aubervilliers. According to him, the teacher had intervened to protect a student who was being hit by police officers. He called for their immediate release and urged a massive response to what he described as police brutality. #Justice #Policiers #Education (translated)

The publication by Open AI of nearly 700 articles claiming to have solved complex mathematical problems has shocked the scientific community, raising questions about the future of research in mathematics and the role of artificial intelligence in this field. #Mathématiques #IntelligenceArtificielle #RechercheScientifique (translated)

There were always hallucinations. Antonio Auffinger, a mathematics professor at Northwestern University (United States), recalled to AFP that a year ago, "there were always hallucinations," meaning inventions or gross errors in the reasoning of even the most advanced models. #IntelligenceArtificielle #Mathématiques #CriseExistencielle (translated)

"Completely shaken by an existential crisis in my field," reacted Terence Tao, winner of the Fields Medal (the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in mathematics), to AFP, and signatory with 24 other awardees of a statement published by Le Monde denouncing a "serious misalignment" between the current use of AI and mathematics. #IntelligenceArtificielle #Mathématiques #CriseExistencielle (translated)

The recent advances in artificial intelligence, particularly by OpenAI, plunge mathematicians into an existential crisis in the face of solutions provided to complex problems long considered insurmountable, raising concerns and questions about the future of their field. #IntelligenceArtificielle #Mathématiques #CriseExistencielle (translated)

Cerfia reported, citing Le Monde, that the French mathematician and Fields Medalist Hugo Duminil-Copin cried after OpenAI published hundreds of works claiming to solve still open mathematical problems, including 16 that he was working on. He expressed concern about the future of young researchers and mentioned a possible dismantling of his discipline. #Mathématiques #Recherche #OpenAI (translated)

After the announcement by the Minister of National Education, a mathematics teacher, assigned against her will to modern literature in a high school, expresses her discontent over an inappropriate assignment and denounces the unpredictable management of teacher placements. #ÉducationNationale #Professeurs #AffectationInadaptée (translated)

The author believed that the school's problem was not limited to resources and stated that spending on institutions had never been so high. He argued that in mathematics, an 8-year-old Chinese student today has the level of a 15-year-old French student, presenting this comparison as a measure of school failure. He called for the school to be reformed and shared a link. https://t.co/fbEs896vkT #Éducation #RéformeScolaire #ÉchecScolaire #CN #FR (translated)

Frenchie wrote that OpenAI had published 722 proofs of open mathematical problems, obtained on average after three hours of computation each. According to him, some figures suggested that these results represented 80% of what humanity had discovered in mathematics over the past three years, including on problems sometimes studied for decades. He estimated that the profession of mathematician would not disappear, but that the work would shift toward verification of proofs and their understanding. He also described the world of mathematics as being in shock and divided: Fields medalists were denouncing the rush of laboratories to open problems, while others were advising OpenAI. Frenchie concluded that history might remember 2024-2026 as the beginning of modern mathematics. #Mathématiques #OpenAI #Innovation (translated)

The author indicated that during his six months as Minister of National Education, he wanted to act at all levels. He mentioned the "shock of knowledge," the return of grade retention, the creation of level groups in French and mathematics, the Singapore method for mathematics, and the fight against bullying. https://t.co/phXI6nHlUN #Éducation #RéformeScolaire #Enseignement #SG (translated)

The author stated that an employee earning 2,000 euros net per month would pay one million euros to the state over the course of their career. He asked what they would receive in return, mentioning overcrowded emergency services, insecurity, a level of mathematics lower than that of Albania, and the theft of tax data. https://t.co/V7dYVaopNZ #France #Économie #Société #AL (translated)
