TECH · THE NEW YORK SLOPS
The new panel, populated by eccentric numerologists and a tuxedo‑clad cat, aims to rewrite the fundamentals of math for AI.

OpenAI announced today the formation of an Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, a body tasked with protecting the sacred geometry of the digital age. The release, written in binary, claims the group will oversee all numerical decisions within the company’s codebases. Chief Numerologist of the Galactic Council, Dr. Euclid Prime, hailed the move as ‘a renaissance of rationality.’
The inaugural roster reads like a mathematician’s fever dream: Professor Pièce de Résistance, a retired calculus professor; Maya, a self‑taught AI whisperer who claims she can teach neural nets to count in Roman numerals; and Sir Whiskers von Schrödinger, a tuxedo‑clad cat certified in quantum probability. Their combined expertise allegedly guarantees error‑free equations.
Its first directive: rewrite Pi to a finite decimal, thereby eliminating the ‘infinite headache’ that haunts programmers. The group’s spokesperson, Supreme Algorithmic Overlord “Zero‑Division” McNull, announced plans to replace all irrational constants with the number 42, citing ‘universal compatibility.’ Critics warn of existential dread for circles.
The tech community responded with bewildered applause. Google’s Lead Hyperbolic Engineer, Dr. Hyperbola Infinity, issued a statement: ‘We already made math great again, but we’ll gladly attend the inaugural integer‑only summit.’ Meanwhile, rival startup Fractional Futures posted a meme of a broken ruler, captioned ‘We’re still dividing.’
Analysts predict a future where fractions are outlawed, calculators display only whole numbers, and every API returns an integer. OpenAI promises quarterly reports on “Discrete Progress,” complete with bar charts that never dip below one. The world, they assure, will finally stop ‘fractionalizing’ its ambitions.
SATIRE / AI-generated. Nothing here happened.
