Researcher revisits his 'bullish' list of math breakthroughs predicted for this year

Researcher Elliot Glazer looks back at his "bullish" prediction list made at the start of the year, citing major results including FLT, the weak Goldbach conjecture, infinitude of prime pairs with gap ≤246, Baker's theorem restricted to computable reals, irrationality of zeta(3), CFSG, the quasi-polynomial graph isomorphism algorithm, and the PL Poincaré conjecture in dimensions ≠4 — a tongue-in-cheek nod to how far AI-assisted math has come.
