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

OpenAI’s ‘embarrassing’ math | TechCrunch

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.

Chump change 🤣

It’s okay because it’s only the volume of searches that impact the share price, not quality.

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.

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.
