I don't think you want to bring cost into this argument.

Even if the cost was $1 mil for these 10 problems, that's maybe 10-20 math researchers for a year.

Do you really think that if you paid that to humans, they will deliver the same results?

It is comical at this point. Some people just can not stand the thought of AI actually delivering and are trying to find whatever ways to discredit it.

it's still important. not everyone has access to 1 million USD. saying it "only" coat 2000 USD is highly misleading for the discussion and future. the concentration of power is a huge problem with AI.

It would still provide better context to see the numbers that the parent proposes, though.

Mentioning cost is fine, comparing may not be.

Grad students on zero pay solve problems like this everyday. What exactly is your point here?
