Reposting @BooleanAnalysis: the author says they've been developing a new idea for #3SAT (sparse permanent) running in 2^(n/√(log n)) time, drafted through an AI chat session until hitting the platform's max conversation length. The write-up spans 20 pages: a 5-page overview, 10 pages of main material, and a 5-page bonus appendix. The author admits it's still badly written but is happy with the progression of ideas.
