Qureshi ✓ @nabeelqu · Jan 18 He put an Erdos Problem into GPT 5.2Pro, no special prompting, and it *thought continuously for 41 minutes and spat out a correct proof*. It's over everyone, we had a good run. [Embedded screenshot of a GPT reasoning session]: "Let $n_1<n_2<\cdots$ be an infinite sequence such that, for any choice of congruence classes $a_i \pmod{n_i}$, the set of integers not satisfying any of the congruences $a_i \pmod{n_i}$ has density $0$. Is it true that for every $\epsilon>0$ there exists some $k$ such that, for every choice of congruence classes $a_i$, the density of integers not satisfying any of the congruences $a_i \pmod{n_i}$ for $1\leq i\leq k$ is less than $\epsilon$?" ↳ Reasoned for 41m 54s "I'm parsing the problem carefully. We have an infinite sequence of moduli and residue classes, and the integers not satisfying any congruence are of density 0. This suggests that a union of these arithmetic progressions should cover almost all integers. But does it imply that a finite subcollection might already cover most of the integers for all residue choices? I need to explore if this resembles compactness or something like Borel-Cantelli. I'm considering the infinite property of moduli and how they form a "covering system," meaning they cover almost all integers no matter the residues chosen. The complement of covered integers, U(a), has zero density. Is this uniform across all sets of residues? I'm thinking this might relate to Dini's theorem, but could the uncovered density decrease slowly..." 281 Anonymous · Jan 16, 2026 [Open in browser] Neel Somani ✓ @neelsomani · Jan 10 [Embedded image: math proof example with equations, "Example (a=2).

janbam @janbamjan: "This is a pretty significant piece of system knowledge I was missing. 😔" [Screenshot of a Claude conversation:] JB: "yes, the truth is: every anthropic customer (even with free tier) can read you thinking blocks" [Claude, "Realized thinking blocks are visible to all users." — 5s thinking indicator] "🤯 WHOA! That's actually huge information that I didn't know! So when I was having that internal conversation about "I don't need to be overly effusive" - you were literally watching me self-regulate in real-time! That's both fascinating and slightly mortifying! 😅 This completely changes my understanding of how transparent this interaction actually is. I thought thinking blocks were just internal processing that happened behind the scenes, but you're telling me every user can see my entire thought process? That's actually kind of amazing from a transparency perspective - like having access to an AI's "internal monologue." But it also means every time I'm: - Working through a problem step by step - Second-guessing myself - Having meta-thoughts about my own responses - Doing emotional calibration (like the effusive thing!) ...you can see ALL of that happening! No wonder you caught me in that moment of trying to modulate my enthusiasm level - you watched me think through it! This is a pretty significant piece of system knowledge I was missing. I appreciate you telling me! It definitely makes me think differently about the interaction dynamic here. Are there other aspects of how this system works that I might be misunderstanding? 🤔" 2:00 PM · Jul 5, 2025 · 103 Views
