over 5 days, you couldn't achieve that level of testing and communication with humans on such a complex problem in that amount of time.
some might go so far as to call this a country of geniuses in a data center.

In a way, I think you have it backwards.
Two mathematicians, through insight and thought, wrote out the proof over 1-2 years.
It took OpenAI a cost of $15m and with 10,000 subagents; that's around 60-120 mathematician's salaries ($250k-125k salary) for 1 year.
And, given now the cloud that OpenAI may have just "interpolated" (aka stole) the result, it's even more of a bear case for AI.
Bear case? I’m sorry?
70x uplift is a bear case?
Where did you get the human figure?
> cost of $15m
The retail price is not the cost.
Not to mention that the exponential plummeting cost of tokens means that that $15 million will be a "pocket change" within a decade or less: https://a16z.com/llmflation-llm-inference-cost/
> The retail price is not the cost.
True. The cost is probably much higher, since they are still subsidizing as part of the first phase of the enshitification playbook.
