Carlos Santana claimed that the recent advances by OpenAI in mathematics had provoked reactions of astonishment, enthusiasm, and bitterness among members of the mathematics community. He wrote that the company had published 372 high-caliber results and that the average work time per result was equivalent to three hours of ChatGPT Pro Thinking. Santana stated that artificial intelligence had become a driving force in cutting-edge mathematical research and attributed part of the initial doubts to the difficulty of accepting this change. He compared the use of resources to the case of Navier-Stokes, for which, he indicated, OpenAI had deployed 10,000 concurrent agents. He also cited researcher Noam Brown, who, according to Santana, had said that the result was not so much due to the multi-agent system but to the mathematical capability of the model. The author said he understood the professional and emotional impact these advances could have on mathematicians, but he considered that it was not possible to reverse them. He added that publishing the results openly was the best scenario, although he noted that it was unclear whether OpenAI had reserved key findings for its own research or whether other organizations would share their advances. Santana maintained that the results could translate into improvements for science and engineering. He also wrote that OpenAI had evaluated 4,000 problems and that, according to their figures, 376 had been solved—about 10%—and anticipated that within a year, few or none could remain unsolved. He concluded by encouraging those who valued the role of science and technology to closely follow the changes and sent words of support to those who received them with confusion. #InteligenciaArtificial #Matemáticas #Innovación (translated)

SPAIN: DOES SÁNCHEZ DIVIDE SPANISH PEOPLE? FACTS AND OPINIONS THE CONTEXT: ELECTIONS IN A TENSE CLIMATE On October 5, Pedro Sánchez dissolved the Cortes and scheduled general elections for November 29. The triggering event was the failure, the previous week, of two housing decrees, rejected by the PP, Vox, and Junts. Most polls, except for the CIS, give the majority to the right. One question runs through the debate: is the head of the Government seeking to fracture the country to stay in power? Serious work must separate what is established from what is interpretation. WHAT IS DOCUMENTED ● In his statement, Sánchez called to "bend the elites" and accused Junts of "treason." ● He framed the election this way: join an "ultra-right wave" or continue being a bastion of openness and social justice. ● He also acknowledged mistakes and unfulfilled promises, according to El Español. ● The same media reports that his environment pushed him to capitalize on discontent over housing and the political cost of the PP's vote alongside Vox and Junts. ● Regarding Ceuta, The Conversation describes a crisis that has fueled protests throughout the country and a growing "cultural war." ● Vox describes the arrivals as "invasion," showing that polarization does not come solely from one side. WHAT IS INTERPRETATION Several analyses read the speech as a first campaign rally, built on a "me or chaos" narrative and the fear of a PP-Vox Government. It is a plausible political reading, but it remains a reading. The PSOE also rejects it, attributing the blockage to an opposition that it views as lacking a sense of state. Nothing in reliable sources proves a deliberate intent to divide the people. A strategy of mobilization based on confrontation is observed, which is not the same thing. THE ROYAL FAMILY: SOURCES TO HANDLE WITH CAUTION This is the most fragile section. Opinion pieces, including one from The Objective, describe a very tense relationship between Zarzuela and Moncloa, with controversies surrounding a visit by the King to Ceuta and statements by ministers. These texts rely heavily on anonymous sources and media close to the right. They do not demonstrate a strategy by Sánchez against the Crown. A verifiable fact: Zarzuela confirms that the King was informed of the decision by the Prime Minister before the announcement and that the dissolution decree was sanctioned remotely. THE TWO OPPOSITIONS AND THEIR OWN NARRATIVES The PP led by Feijóo bets on choosing between "decadence or change." Abascal, for his part, calls for voting in person instead of by mail and says he does not trust anything that Sánchez does. Each side contributes its part to the tension: all construct a narrative in which the opponent threatens the country. WHAT TO REMEMBER Polarization is real and shared. Saying that Sánchez uses it is defensible. Claiming that he wants to divide the people is an opinion. Citizens will judge on November 29, after comparing balances, promises, and accusations.
