OpenAI solving all these math/etc problems (reportedly 100 coming) is both impressive and insanely unimpressive. Unimpressive because to me it sorta signals that OpenAI has nothing better to be working on than obscure mathematical curios?

  No it signals that they can do few things very well. And among those few things are those math puzzles.
  I think they should now focus on robotics, so it can do my dishes while I work on fun math games.

    why would they compete with Nvidia on that?
