Lucas Beyer questions crediting a human "meatproxy" in a math paper

AISummary

Lucas Beyer, who says he is not a mathematician, finds it bizarre that an arXiv paper credits a "meatproxy" and lists an author "in personal capacity." He comments on the awkward form of the attribution while congratulating the authors on the content, which is linked in a reply from @mahdi_tcs_.

I'm obviously not a mathematician, but i find both this approach of "find a meatproxy and give them credit" and especially the "in personal capacity" here extremely bizarre??

Congrats on the content i guess but the form is just very awkward to me (an outsider).
