SO WHAT
In the thousand-day window, verification bottlenecks—not model speed—will determine whether this becomes nucleation or a confidence mirage.
OpenAI asserts its agents completed a 90-year-old math breakthrough. One mathematician contests the credibility of the result, flagging signal noise as well as the inversion.
This is Negative Resistance’s reframed reading of a reported signal. The headline and analysis above are our interpretation through the thousand-day-window lens. The original reporting lives at the source linked above.
