    Classic example of moving the goal posts. “Exploiting a loophole” is how you solve many great problems in math.

      That’s not at all the topic of discussion. The article is talking about the fact that OpenAI solved a version of the problem that is niche and isn’t the one the math community cares about

        Then why was it allowed as an option in the millennium prize statement?
