🧩🔢 Apparently, the nerd safari over at "Open Problems in Computational Geometry" has been tirelessly cataloging unsolved math mysteries since 2001. With a whopping 75+ problems, they now eagerly await your #GitHub Pull Requests to update their existential crisis board. Because, who wouldn't want to spend their free time proving that math still doesn't make sense? 🤷‍♂️💻

@garymarcus Sad to see #EM(=#Toxic**2) burn down the bird (he has infinite $$ so $44b is nothing to him). Now, I'm waiting for @Grady_Booch (I know Yoda has no AC) and, yes, @YLeCun (?? No idea if he has an account) to join #Mastodon to replicate the fascinating #ChatGPT #AIEthics debate here!
Some say this is “The Most Intelligent Photo Ever Taken”. Well, we need good number of Intelligent people debate cool #OpenProblems #HardProblems of our times on #Mastodon.
