I watched a lovely, capable person dissolve into a jumpy, near-tears wreck because the “solutions” copilot was giving her about her laptop didn’t work. “I don’t know what to do,” she said despairingly. There were still plenty of things left to try. She just couldn’t conceive of them.

It would really be great if folks not affiliated with the Trump Administration could stop using "Department of War." The Department of Defense is a statutory creation, and the name is statutorily given--the administration cannot unilaterally change it.

Shanghai based mathematician Chenglong Ma all but accuses OpenAI of stealing from a paper on Invariant Primes he had uploaded 8 days prior, stating that his "proof strategy and specific choices of notation are identical to a preliminary version of the present paper" arxiv.org/pdf/2610.10072
{D_k} = {D_i : i >= k}.

After the paper was written, the author learned that the same result was also proved independently and by a different method by Ningyi Li [7]. The result is also contained in a paper [8] released by OpenAI on October 6, 2026, in which the proof strategy and specific choices of notation are identical to a preliminary version of the present paper that was uploaded to ChatGPT on September 8, 2026.
