Cynic quips frontier lab rivalry just needs a false rumor to "solve" a Millennium Prize problem

12exyz sarcastically notes that all an AI lab needed to "solve" a Millennium Prize problem was a false suspicion that a competitor might get there first — maybe frontier lab competition has some upsides after all.

He jokes that OpenAI plans to publish a proof of the Riemann hypothesis "in a few weeks," tagging Anthropic's Dario Amodei, riding the wave of mockery around OpenAI's claimed Navier–Stokes proof and the competitive culture of frontier labs.
