alt Hacker NewsSo someone ran a different LLM to find an issue they'd find anyway during formalisation? That's not the same as relying on thriving community.

The bigger question is why there was internal pressure to rush such a historic launch without having someone in the company, anyone, check the proofs first.
This concerns the Hodge conjecture (millennium prize related) paper. Seems to me like PhD nerds weren't confident bosses pushed ahead anyway.
I would say
1. This is expected if you only use a single model family like Claude, eg. we use a different model family for code review than authoring, OAI could have done this too for their math dump
2. Ai needs a good human driver beyond the trivial or mundane, they are expert enhancing machines, not expert creating machines. This is where the community comes in. Reading Tao's ChatGPT session reveals this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49010345
3. OAI is not trying to be a member of the/any community, this is not the first story to shows this, nor do I expect it to be the last. Perhaps this is them being effective altruists today? /s
Is that guy just some rando "someone" though?
