What's this about?
After two open conjectures fell to AI in one week, Mollick's advice: "Wish I had a list of unsolved math problems handy" — the sudden flow of AI proofs and disproofs previews what's coming everywhere; stockpile your field's hard problems now.
What exactly does "horde hard problems" mean?
When capability jumps, the bottleneck flips from "can it be solved?" to "what's worth asking?" A curated list of your domain's long-standing open questions becomes the scarce asset — you feed them to each new model generation and watch which ones crack.
Why is it worth noting?
It reframes this week's math news as an operational playbook for every field: the people with question-lists ready will harvest the next capability jump first.
