I really don't know enough about it to know whether you're right or not, nor do I know whether or not you know enough to make the claim you're making, so I won't make an argument one way or another because it's non-sequitur to what I said anyway. The fact that you or I or Sam Altman or Terrence Tao believe the claim is irrelevant to whether this obligates the person who wrote the blog post to believe the claim, and it sounds like he's willing to consider the possibility that it is right, and would read the paper if it reached a threshold of comprehensibility expected of people making that kind of claim.
I's not a non sequitor because it cuts right to the point. He's under no obligation to read it sure, but that doesn't mean Open AI isn't justified in claiming to have proved it. The justification isn't Sam Altman's belief or Tao's or anyone else's authority. Results accompanied with lean-verified proofs whose formal statements match the problem at hand have arguably stronger justification than the vast majority of human math publications.
