A mathematician who was close to making the breakthrough found themselves crushed and scooped by the rapid advancements of AI systems over the summer. While some industry leaders and researchers celebrate the accelerated progress, top mathematicians have expressed outrage and unease, characterizing the technological feats as immature playground boasting and voicing deep ter
