Watch an LLM Panic Over a Jacobian Conjecture Counterexample

teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-01

teortaxesTex shares a hilarious "whale formal logic" output: the model concludes "it is a counterexample," then immediately reasons its way out—"either the Jacobian Conjecture is false or there's a mistake in the map; since it's a famous open problem it cannot be false, therefore the map is wrong." It also flags "I'm an elementary school student" as "a classic trick."

The thread showcases top reasoning models getting flustered under open-problem pressure tests—great meme material.
