Rumour: OpenAI Close to Verifying Hodge Conjecture, OpenAI or Anthropic Near on BSD

A rumour circulating in tech circles claims OpenAI is very close to verifying the Hodge Conjecture, and that OpenAI or Anthropic is nearing a solution to Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer — meaning three Millennium Problems could fall within a month, though the source cautions the rumour mill may be unreliable.
Mathematician Obhishek Saha adds a technical wrinkle: the plausible near-term AI path on Hodge would be a counterexample (an exotic variety with a Hodge class not from an algebraic cycle), not a proof.
