A joke asks what anyone should do if an LLM suddenly proves P = NP
Promptmethus · x · 2026-07-22
A reply jokes about what to do if prompting an LLM somehow produced a proof of P = NP or a polynomial-time algorithm for an NP-complete problem. The author says you obviously cannot just post it on X because it would “destroy society,” and even sending it to the CIA probably would not help.
It is a pure AI/CS thought experiment turned into a joke about catastrophic discoveries and where they would even be reported.
