Circulating reports say OpenAI has made 'significant progress' on a second $1M Millennium Prize problem, with rumors it is close to solving two more. Ex-OpenAI theoretical computer scientist Scott Aaronson says AI companies, burned by the hostile response to their Navier-Stokes proof, are sitting on solutions to major problems until they figure out how to release them. Unconfirmed.
