The Mathocalypse. "Last night my 9-year-old son was taunting my wife, complexity theorist Dana Moshkovitz, as follows: 'mommy, I heard you got cooked! I heard that a robot solved the math problem you worked on for your whole career! OOF!'" Scott Aaronson on OpenAI's announcement of 372 breakthrough mathematical results using an unreleased model.

A quick check shows that this list claims to fully solve 90 of the top 500 open problems in math (https://proofatlas.ai/open-problems/). The highest ranked would be:
- Hilbert's Tenth Problem over the Rationals
- Unique Games Conjecture
- Anderson Model Extended States in Dimension at Least Three
- Penrose inequality
- Nonexistence of LandauβSiegel zeros for quadratic Dirichlet L-functions
- The Baum-Connes Conjecture for the K-Theory of Reduced Group C*-Algebras
- Abundance Conjecture for the minimal model program
- Hadwiger Conjecture
- Bose-Einstein Condensation in Interacting Continuous Bose Gases
- Entanglement Area Law for 2D Gapped Quantum Systems
