      <description>Thomas Hales, writing on Terence Tao's blog, says Lean's kernel has had several soundness bugs this year, one of which produced a false disproof of the Collatz conjecture, and no public proof covers the theory Lean rests on; the warning lands as AI tools have begun writing Lean faster than any human can read it, including 13 million lines of Lean for one theorem in 11 days.
