Quoting mbeisen's prediction that humanity will still be here on September 10, 2036, lpachter relays a rumor that a counterexample to a high-profile conjecture already exists, its Lean formalization is being finalized, and an announcement is coming soon. Unconfirmed, but part of the ongoing math/AI conjecture drama.
