What makes you think that nobody checked the proofs first? It's not like someone checking it once without spotting any mistakes means that nobody else will find any mistakes either.

Tweeter checked it with Astra. It seems like OAI could have pointed their own instance at it before launch. Because the source of the tip is likely someone at OAI, my guess is that they actually did check. But after the launch.

Because this is what they say all the time. It's like a badge they have to wear and tell everyone they are wearing, even though we see it.

You can see the same thing with ANT. Had they looked at Mythos output, they would have realized there were only 76 items, not 79 like the bot claimed. Or the ones that were just a "it crashed" and nothing else (not a cve imo).

Because people are finding errors using other LLMs. This implies that if they spent a miniscule fraction of the enormous pile of money they spend making this pile of slop they'd find the errors. They didn't want to find errors. They want to build hype for an IPO.
