Aaronson on the Mathocalypse: a new UGC proof built on an 'alien' code
Overview
Scott Aaronson describes an AI-generated proof of the UGC conjecture that invents an entirely new, bizarre code with a noise test and a crazy recursive construction.
He notes that mathematicians increasingly encounter this kind of "alien craziness" and predicts it will become routine.
