@jackalblackhole@Frances01896069 First you ask about "me or anyone else", now it's just "me"? Is the future of mathematics in my hands? I truly am the main character.
@ctjlewis Because it's by far the conjecture with the most results that are conditional on it. So in some way it acts as an ad hoc hypothesis for those "theorems".
@joshflynnworks@tkisrage Do you think this counts as challenging his status? Tao was, for good reasons, a superstar. No current mathematician has been enjoying similar prestige since he has been around. You could say he was the king of math, if you allow me. Can you claim the same for Elias Stein?
@joshflynnworks@tkisrage Can you stop taking his past declarations for absolute truth? Do you trust politicians just as much?
Tao like anybody else has his own agenda. If you want to argue he was really challenged in the past, tell me by whom. I want names, because I can think of none.
@joshflynnworks@tkisrage The point is: when you are at the top of the food chain and nothing threatens your status, you don't have to be vicious (some people choose to, but it is not a necessity). For the first time he is feeling challenged and his true face is showing.
Martin Hairer, one of the other members of AGMAI (the advisory group on mathematics and AI), has written a post on the Proofs and Prompts blog that will I hope clarify what our purpose is. The rest of the blog is highly recommended too.

@joshflynnworks@tkisrage Yes. A truly humble person does not throw a tantrum when he gets surpassed, by either a human or a machine. He enjoyed his position at the top of the mathematical community and now he feels in danger.
@jamesmith83@samuhyu Not sure if you're retarded or just pretending but I'll answer anyway. Prestige is like health. You can be the healthiest person in the world in your 20s but if you get a disease suddenly you're not healthy anymore and no amount of past health you enjoyed can change that.
@samuhyu As I said, you can't accumulate prestige the same way you can with money. If AI solves math tomorrow, he becomes a nobody overnight and can only relive the old highs in his head.
@samuhyu There is no such thing as "maxxing out on prestige", prestige is renewed everyday. You can't store prestige for when you become a nobody. Agree that he hasn't cared about maxxing money that much but still enjoys a very comfortable life.
No, they didn’t ’dodge the question’
The Navier Stokes problem concerns the solution of a system of differential equations with or without external forces. Openai solved the case with such a force.
Saying that OpenAI dodged the problem by solving it only when an external force is present is like saying that showing electromagnetic waves are solutions of Maxwell’s equations in a vacuum dodges the challenge to solve them, because no charges or currents are present
