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.
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.

What makes you say that? Not dunking, I skimmed it (I’m in no way at this level) and didn’t see anything outright Claud-y.
This immediately struck me as Claud-y: > The gap has two independent consequences, each sufficient to invalidate the claimed disproof. The first is structural. Then the classic coding agents negation of earlier evidence, instaed of just updating to use new references, they mention that they changed old to new: > The publicly released monolithic file ConnesRigidity.lean (37,000+ lines) does not use the names CocycleEx…

#73So this is the level of science discourse now? AI really broke people's minds. If it's true or not, it will be eventually proved or not. Name calling really is the best you all can do?

#74does this show Lean is not bulletproof?

#75Opus 5 says the disproof is wrong.

#76Maybe 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.

#77One of mathematicians working at OpenAI refuted those claims directly on X - https://x.com/AcerFur/status/2083656978719719601
Good grief that thread is sad, with it ending by Gary Marcus asking for the crank to be taken seriously.

University of Kansas is not a crank institution. So she directs a hybrid thinktank that's experience not anything crazy. Other physicists are citing her work: https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.00885 She's no hack.
