Claude formalizes Fermat's Last Theorem, says all known math next

jdlichtman claims Claude has formalized Fermat's Last Theorem and predicts all known mathematics could be formalized in the coming months. He proposed a complete FLT formalization to mathematician Kevin Buzzard last fall and was laughed off; after Prime Number Theorem and Sphere Packing, "he's not laughing anymore." Unverified landmark claim.
