   My comment about humanity's last exam being a misnomer is included, and I proposed better ideas about what a last exam could look like. One of the things I said was "solve an open math problem" which has conclusively been done with Navier-Stokes (regardless of the controversy surrounding that). However, in the spirit of clarifying the goalposts, AI has only passed 1/6 of the tests I proposed. 17% is not a passing grade, so I'd say no, my challenge has not been met.

   Another thing to note is that the (presumably AI-generated) summary of my challenge does not accurately represent what I wrote, listing only half the things I said and saying "or" rather than "and".

      How can you say it’s conclusively been done if it might have been stolen from a math researcher and was aided in unknown ways by a whole team of math researchers? I find it mind boggling that HN just accepts these shenanigans with no transparency. At the very least, they could share the conversation / thinking trace easily and if their claims are true there shouldn’t be anything controversial or negative for their company in the trace.

         Man I can't believe mathematicians were just about to solve dozens of significant problems all in the same year, and that's exactly the year LLMs come around to steal their solutions.

         Talk about bad luck!

            No one ever spent tens of millions of dollars trying before. To evaluate the achievement we must see all the logs, know how much they spent, and how much help they had from humans.
