An OpenAI executive said GPT-5 found solutions to 10 "previously unsolved" math problems when in reality all it did was find online references to places where people had already solved them

No, GPT-5 did not solve a bunch of previously unsolved math problems.

Pretty cool to see Audits.com referenced on the Wikipedia Search Engine Optimization page.
It’s okay because it’s only the volume of searches that impact the share price, not quality.

PSA: Surprised this even needs saying.
I see the Penguin UK website has already redirected the Spy Dog collection to their homepage.
It does, however, highlight the need for better safeguarding and longer-term contingency planning for domain names within your brand’s portfolio.

Hopefully, the lawyers at Puffin / Penguin Random House UK can reacquire the domain name or have the current registrant take action.
Anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000+ domain names are deleted or dropped each day, and around 10% are re-registered by “drop-catchers”; essentially bots that target valuable domains based on a range of metrics.

I suspect there was no direct malicious attempt here.
🔞 In September 2025, it was re-registered under a new registrar (Spaceship, Inc. / Namecheap, Inc) and pointed to new name servers linked to known adult content networks.
🅿️ Throughout 2023 and 2024, it was parked, meaning it didn’t host a real site, just placeholder or ad pages (as confirmed by Wayback Machine snapshots).

💤 By early 2025, the domain showed “renewal required,” suggesting the holder didn’t renew it.
🕵‍♂️ The original Spy Dogs website was active until late 2022.

🫴 After expiring, it was picked up in January 2023 by a drop-catcher (a service that automatically registers expired domains).
There’s been a lot of false claims about the Spy Dogs website and schools emailing parents.

The site wasn’t hacked, and neither was Penguin - the domain simply expired and was re-registered.

Here’s what actually happened:
Brings back the memories.
There is already enough suffering in the world.
I feel like I should know him.
You can’t paint there, mate.
Was lovely listening to all the bird calls this morning.
Vibe coding was super quick for me especially now I have a better understating of the dots join together. This was more about having fun and doing it myself.
My first public “vibe-coded” idea-to-product: storeratings.co

Building this was fun but definitely tested my patience. A combination of Vercel, GitHub, and Cursor, I got there in the end. I am not a developer or designer, go easy.
