Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's different though. Understanding the spec of Fermat's last theorem is simple. Here, you already need to know some mathematics just to understand the spec.

Not sure what your comment has anything to do with my comment, or the comment I replied to.

But to answer to your comment: Opus 5 says that Nielsen's critique is nonsense.

The author of this paper has also apparently published a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. yeah idk if they should be trusted as an authority on this.

From what I can tell it seems like they are probably wrong, but a mathematician publishing a paper about a well known unsolved problem in mathematics does not indicate they are a crank, even if their paper is wrong. This is a thing respected researchers in mathematics do.

Maybe there's an error, but much of this write-up reads like nonsense to me. The assertion that a semidirect product with an abelian factor must admit that factor in its center is absolutely false. This is actually acknowledged later in this article, but is handwaved away in incomprehensible fashion.

To be fair to Nielsen, she is a worthwhile person regardless of her academic successes or failures; this point only does her a disservice to suggest that her words would be better ignored without it being made.

Crank author at a crank “institution” - I can’t assess whether the OpenAI paper is accurate but I highly doubt this is going to be the paper to disprove it.
