A joke thread imagines the nightmare of an LLM proving P = NP

A joke thread imagines the nightmare scenario of prompting an LLM into finding a polynomial-time algorithm for an NP-complete problem. The punchline: you probably can’t just post it on X, because it would “destroy society,” and even sending it to the CIA would likely go nowhere.
It’s not a real breakthrough report, but it’s very much an AI-culture meme about how absurdly high the stakes would be if an LLM ever produced a genuine P = NP result.
