"Levent Alpöge, a mathematician at the artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic, casually announced that he had found a counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture, a famous and long-standing problem in algebraic geometry."

"Some initial thoughts, and a complicated mix of feelings." (thread)

calling things by the wrong name

I used to be one of those people who corrected the misquotations & misattributions of online others. No one ever thanked me.
