“I would not be surprised if AI solves, like, a major unsolved math problem, like the Rayman hypothesis, or similar in the next five years.”

The claim, plainly

AI could autonomously solve a major unsolved mathematical problem, such as the Riemann hypothesis, within the next five years.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

How this resolves

Verification couldn't pin this to a public evidence class, so it stays on the record with its date, unassessed rather than guessed.
