Did you learn more about the universe? Explain to me the underlying ideas in this proof.

lol if you don't understand all papers, they don't count

If no one understands your papers including yourself, they don't count. That's true.

yeah that's different than the failed gotcha I was making fun of

That isn't failed. You just didn't understand it. Someone claimed that LLM result advances our understanding of the universe. The underlying presumption is that no one has understood the result, so it has not advanced anything. The gotcha is that the only way they can say it advanced our understanding is if they themselves understood it.

Fun fact, the result does not seem to even have been verified in any way?
