Meme: Proving Conjectures Using Fable
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-20
The post jokes about a screenshot of mathematician Levent Alpöge's resume and a prank about him: someone claimed he "defeated an 87-year-old open mathematical conjecture by giving prompts to Fable," while replies emphasized that "mathematicians don't need to worry too much for now."
The image showcases his academic homepage and X account bio, the latter of humorously exaggerates his profile with phrases like "Harvard/Award-winning/One Hilbert Problem." It's clearly an exaggerated contrast joke. Overall, it's a classic meme/epic moment involving AI in mathematical problems.
