I’m just going to leave that here…


I think the whole story is that a rumour started about Anthropic solving a millennium problem and OpenAI went in full panic mode trying to beat them to it.
Turns out an anthropic employee was a coauthor on the original paper, but that was something he was doing on the side, not under the Anthropic’s institution (using several LLMs, including OpenAI’s and Anthropic’s).
Allegedly, OpenAI then tried to coerce the original author into authoring their proof and cutting off the anthropic guy.
These dicks just wanted to be the only ones involved and it backfired.


This is so utterly depressing to me. Although the proof could still be wrong, as it has not been the first time that such bombastic announcements were made, only for people to realise there were actual bugs in Lean and therefore the proof was not valid, we are facing a time were models can actually start cracking some hard maths problems, and these models are owned by a few who totally miss the point of what doing mathematics actually means.
Doing maths was not, and should not be about “producing true statements/compilable verification code”. It is about understanding, creating and sharing ideas and structures and studying their interconnections. Having an oracle provide a list of true theorems with sloppy Lean proofs that no one understands does not provide any insight.
So I guess we are now pushing hard the idea that we should (if we indeed can) mass produce maths results and have mathematicians become glorified clanker nannies who have to read through inane proof assistant code to try and make some sense of it.
I really feel for the few truly passionate mathematicians and new PhD students entering the field, at a time where all the remaining fun gets sucked out of it. And also I am saddened by the very real possibility that this will make the maths community much more secretive and less cooperative, again, to avoid fucking billionaires swooping in and stealing their results for bragging rights on fucking twitter and inflating their valuation ever more.
Though to be fair, the mathematicians robbed in this case were also using OpenAI’s clanker, so they kind of made their own bed…
it might as well be real
I’m not in these devs heads, but I guess that’s the point. Providing something that’s real enough (as a toy model, you’re not going to clean room blender with this…) to get the discussion started and see what we can do against that kind of practice which will definitely become a real threat in the future if left unchecked.
At least I hope that’s the intention rather than “lulz”.
This website was made by two devs quite involved in the open source community. If you don’t want to call it satire, suit yourself I guess (though it does present a number of satirical elements, look at the company names in the success reports: “definitely real corp”, “profit first LLC”…) but this is definitely not an AI bro company, and more of a warning and reflection on possible consequences of LLMs on foss software.
Here’s a link to their fosdem 26 talk that inspired the website and “service” : https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/SUVS7G-lets_end_open_source_together_with_this_one_simple_trick/


Helix and Vim/NeoVim? Muscle memory is overrated anyways.


It’d be quicker for me to list what I don’t hate these days, but I guess the main stuff that makes me tilt is:
Capitalism, billionaires, billionaires’ bootlickers, conservatives fascists, state surveillance, bloated anti-user and anti-freedom (i.e. modern) software, anti-intellectualism, being in a “post-truth” era, AI slopaganda, and the relatively general apathy to all of that and lack of solidarity amongst us working people (at least where I live).
I think haiku OS is still trying to resist. But good luck using it as a daily driver…
