Mathematician littmath: OpenAI Model Proved Bloch's Conjecture, Paper Cites Known-Wrong Work
littmath · x · 2026-10-07
Mathematician littmath reviewed OpenAI's new model-produced math results: the model proved Bloch's conjecture, a problem she thought about in grad school. She flags that the paper cites some existing work known to be wrong without saying so — though as far as she can tell the proof doesn't meaningfully rely on it.
