Who's going to be able to scrounge up an extra 12KB of RAM in today's market?
That was just one single test program of only 20 KB. Extrapolate that out and it's significant.

32KB compared to 20kb
That's more than 50% larger for that one test program. I don't consider a 50% increase "slight". Maybe a 10% increase can be considered slight, but that much difference is significant. Especially talking about embedded systems and the like.
DeFlock gets its data from Open Street Maps. That is where Flock camera locations are actually entered by contributors, similar to a wiki. I entered some for my city, and provided additional information as well (such as the exact direction the camera is oriented), etc.
The college can take them down and charge Flock for the labor.
They can? The legally binding contract the college signed says they can do that? How about next time the college is a little more careful about what contractual agreements they enter into, and make sure they have exit clauses that suit them.
I don't think the OP's point was that the solutions are not ever useful, but the "nobody cared for a long time" part. If no one cares about a problem, then no one is spending their time trying to solve it. Whether or not it may be useful in some way is not the point, but if no humans are trying to solve it, then humans are not going to solve it.
So now we have AI that will simply focus on whatever it is told to focus on, looking at problems esoteric enough that no one wanted to waste time on them, and finishing some of them.
doesn't seem to be in in the literature
I ran a version of Proposition 13 in that paper through Claude just to clean up the draft of that bit before I sent it to her
The literature on this problem is small, and I'm very familiar with it.
You're missing the point here entirely, and ironically you are actually providing counter-evidence.
It appears that ChatGPT, etc, are taking information provided to them by people like you in the form of conversing with the agent and providing files, and using that information to generate output for others. This was shown where a mathematical solution ChatGPT came up with was pretty much exactly like an unpublished solution that had been discussed with ChatGPT by a couple researchers
Do you really think you are the only person in the world discussing that particular thing with the AI agent? You say you're very familiar with the literature in that field. Has your brain literally been built upon every word of that information that has ever been published, like an LLM? Of course not. So it doesn't matter how familiar you think you are with the literature, an LLM's "database" of that literature is beyond anything you could achieve.
Your example does not prove the LLM didn't connect existing dots, or produce that solution from existing information, either published or unpublished that was provided to it in chat sessions like yours.
I looked into this earlier this year. 100% of those surveyed want the annual time changes to stop, so the time is the same year-round.
However there is almost an exact 50 / 50 split of which way should be the permanent way. So 50% of folks will be unhappy whichever one is chosen.
Be careful when a loop exits to the same place from side and bottom.
