OpenAI's Ethereum Disproof Shocks Co-Proposer, Experts Question Complexity

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent claim by OpenAI regarding a disproof of a 1998 Ethereum proposal has generated significant surprise, with one of the original co-proposers calling it "very shocking news." The proof, which has reportedly passed checks by both OpenAI and Anthropic, has been met with skepticism from experts who suggest its computational complexity is only surpassed by brute force methods beyond approximately 10^2,389 variables. AI

IMPACT Raises questions about the practical applicability and verification of complex AI-generated proofs in specialized fields.

    oct 28 i posted that nobody outside openai had confirmed its "ETH is false" proof update: ETH's 1998 co-proposer calls it "very shocking news" openai's and anthropic's proofs both pass a lean check. 3 experts reviewing it only beats brute force past ~10^2,389 variables lol https:…
