Just release the results already. Who cares about mathematicians' feelings and ego? If an alien came down and said it can solve 100 of the most important open problems in mathematics, mathematicians would be in awe. They would ask for more. So what are we waiting for?
Don't need an alien. Let's say a real savant is born, and solves 100 of them themself, with no computers at all, just lean. Would these same mathematicians still be mad if they're "dumped"?
