A tweet says Claude Fable just broke an 87-year-old math conjecture (xcancel.com)
The map: three polynomials in three complex variables, Jacobian determinant exactly -2, sending three separate points to one identical output, the exact collision the conjecture rules out.
One top reply wasn't about the math: it noted the announcement describes two people and a model working together, not a lone AI feat. Mathematicians split hard, from "sweeping up easy leftovers" to "we're a bit fucked."
