Impagliazzo, Paturi and Williams launch site to scrutinize OpenAI's claimed ETH refutation
fortnow · x · 2026-10-30
Complexity theorists Impagliazzo, Paturi and R. Ryan Williams launched a discussion blog and paper depository responding to OpenAI's claimed refutation of the Exponential Time Hypothesis. Key points:
- OpenAI plans to release supporting documents; the three stress their involvement is not an endorsement — a result this significant requires careful independent scrutiny.
- They propose coordinating the community's examination: distributing work, making progress visible, avoiding duplication, while staying open to independent approaches and keeping no company or clique in charge.
- They're soliciting ideas on organizing the proof review, making the argument accessible, and how the community should respond to AI-generated breakthroughs generally.
