OpenAI publishes three new "scientific discoveries", including a claim that the Exponential Time Hypothesis is false

Less than a month after releasing hundreds of math manuscripts, OpenAI on Monday published model results in three fields: a proof of the Kakeya conjecture via local smoothing for the wave equation, an algorithm it says refutes the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), and an existence proof for quantum field theories including QCD. This time, outside experts will shepherd the verification.
