AI Surpassing Human Comprehension — Schmidt & toly React

Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt's comments about AI accelerating past human understanding are circulating, with Solana co-founder toly questioning what a proof no human can understand even means.

What we know

Toly (@toly) poses a philosophical question after quoting Schmidt: 'What does it mean there is a proof and we can't understand it?' — 7.3k views. This connects to an account on X's point about peer review — that AI can already deliver human-level academic review for $0.10, and at $5 can rederive every result and audit all citations across 100M papers. Together these tweets paint a picture of AI capabilities quietly crossing thresholds most people haven't noticed.
