Math community debates Glazer's proof and OpenAI's H10 paper: slop need not compound

Carlein90 (retweeted by littmath) responds to Marcus Gnt and Valerio Capraro's skepticism about Elliot Glazer's astounding announcement, disagreeing on practical grounds.
The author is working on understanding and rewriting OpenAI's H10 paper and says incorporating Glazer's work has actually helped illuminate arguments they were trying to fix. They push back on the idea that "slop on slop" is additive: attempting a harder result can shed light on earlier undigested arguments — a nonlinearity they observe empirically here. They haven't verified Glazer's proposed proof yet but hope to fully understand it.
