## Summary

OpenAI, quoted through Greg Brockman, announces three major scientific discoveries, one each in mathematics (harmonic analysis), computer science (complexity theory), and physics (quantum field theory). Brockman says AI is starting to help improve understanding of the universe, linking to an OpenAI post on building scientific understanding with academic communities. The author, Joshua Achiam, adds only the caption "Things are getting incredibly weird."
