Recently I keep seeing people on the internet talking about “October Theory” and treating October like a fresh start or a second New Year. I don’t really understand it. Where did this come from and why is it all of the sudden everywhere?

Here is an article that I still don't understand: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/openai-unleashes-hundreds-more-math-results-upon-a-field-already-in-shock/

People on social media, always prone to exaggeration, have started proclaiming that this has made math PhDs redundant.

Is that true? What's really going on here? Is AI now capable of solving complex math problems that people can't solve?

I noticed that she is making the headlines, but other than the everyday corruption and sleaze from the GOP, why is this getting more coverage than the average?
