There's something deeply unsettling about watching a machine solve problems that have stumped humanity's brightest minds for over half a century. Not because it threatens our ego—though it certainly does that—but because it forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about the nature of knowledge, discovery, and what it means to be human in an age of artificial intelligence.

Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve just broke a 56-year-old mathematical record. Not improved upon. Not incrementally advanced. Broke. The kind of breakthrough that makes you wonder what else we've been missing, what other solutions have been hiding in plain sight, waiting for the right kind of intelligence to find them.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.

We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.
