AI Crisis in Math: Navier-Stokes, Riemann Hypothesis & Complexity Theory | Lex Fridman Podcast #503

The gist

1. Moitra uses the "doorman fallacy" to argue that proving theorems is only the most visible part of a mathematician's job, not the whole of it.
2. Kontorovich says AI results are now checked in Lean, and an Anthropic effort produced a 13-million-line Lean proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.

3. Kontorovich says the quasi-Riemann hypothesis proof rules out zeta zeros with real part between seven-eighths and one, but its method cannot reach one half.
4. Brunton says the Navier-Stokes blowup proof leaves everyday fluid engineering unchanged, since the million-dollar math problem fell but the trillion-dollar engineering one remains.
5. Kontorovich sees grades splitting between students who use AI to quiz themselves and those who copy answers; Moitra says pretend you already have tenure.
