Proofs and Prompts collected 100+ signed reactions from mathematicians to OpenAI's Oct 6 announcement of 100+ math solutions. Tim Santens calls the results 'almost unbelievable' (Quasi-Riemann 'pure science fiction'); Roman Sauer found his own ergodic-theory trick reused across two unrelated OpenAI solutions. Consensus: mathematics as a discipline must transform.
