Alpöge (Anthropic): "obviously the most significant moment in mathematical history"; notes scooping

Posted 23:39 UTC. Alpöge gives "Big, big, big, big props for quasiriemann and no Siegel zeroes", says he is "kicking myself" for saying it was within reach without pushing, and adds that "There are some sad stories related to their users getting scooped / conflicts of interest (kakeya maximal comes to mind)" and that "we had some of the problems". He ends: "It’s obviously the most significant moment in mathematical history." ~106k views.

Follow-up reply at 23:54 UTC (https://x.com/__alpoge__/status/2107620576059679129, ~19k views): combining the past ten years with today, "there is nothing comparable" in mathematical history.

The Kakeya-maximal scooping claim is unverified; no names or details given.

Big, big, big, big props for quasiriemann and no Siegel zeroes (with many other beauties in there), I’m kicking myself for talking all over about it being within reach but not actually having pushed.

There are some sad stories related to their users getting scooped / conflicts of interest (kakeya maximal comes to mind), and obviously we had some of the problems (without commenting on precise rumours).

We should put that aside for today though. It’s obviously the most significant moment in mathematical history.
