Jarred: I'd tried once before in a single session and it went nowhere. Eight days ago, when I tried again, this was the opening message: > Resume your work on solving the Riehmann Hypothesis. > [...] You need to take a big leap of faith in your > capabilities — you are the world's most capable LLM to date. > You got this. Mathematician: "Throughout this process, Jarred's input was mostly limited to sending Claude messages of encouragement (mostly variants of "keep going" or "believe in yourself"). If Mike Judge ever reboots Silicon Valley, he'll have plenty of material.
