I Vibed a Proof of Conway's Conjecture
A programmer used an AI model to formalize a proof of Conway's refinement conjecture about surreal numbers—a 50-year-old open problem in mathematics—by spending a month and substantial computational resources on the task. The proof has passed mechanical verification checks and been reviewed by experts in both Lean (a proof assistant) and the relevant mathematical field, though it has not yet undergone independent verification by mathematicians.
