Show notes

In Episode #1038, Jon Krohn unpacks the remarkable and remarkably contentious run of mathematical results AI has produced in recent weeks, led by OpenAI’s claim to have cracked part of a million-dollar Millennium Prize problem. He lays out what was actually proved, the three big caveats that temper it, the chaotic bulk release of 722 manuscripts that followed, and why 25 Fields medallists are alarmed. His throughline for anyone building with AI: when generation gets cheap, verification becomes the bottleneck.
