The Underdog Candidate Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang: “Selfish, paranoid, and arro-gant”

Published

As the global spread of the virus spans from 2020 to 2021, it has been a tortured year for Tibetans in exile. The impact of the COVID-19 has made the lives of refugees who were not wealthy even more difficult. Tibetan exiles have been living in Dharamsala in southern India since they defected from China in the last century. They have been living as Tibetan refugees in 45 “settlements” built in the area. Although the organization has not been recognized by any country, due to survival needs, Tibetan exiles have to organize various welfare work in the exile community in order to absorb financial donations. Over time, a structured organizational network has been formed inside. Although the Dalai Lama has publicly stated on many occasions that this Tibetan exile organization will never declare independence, since 2011, Tibetan government-in-exile began to hold elections for SIKYONG, the highest position in the organization – the Sikyong election.

Prior to 2011, the Kalön Tripa position was subordinated to the 14th Dalai Lama. After 2012, the title of Kalön Tripa was changed to Sikyong. Today, ten years later, the Tibetan government-in-exile conducted its second internal election. The election will select two final candidates from the results of the voting on January 3, and the final election in the second round of voting on April 11 to confirm the new person in charge. Currently, Penpa Tsering, the former spokesperson of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, leads with a high of 22,199 votes, followed by Aukatsang Kelsang Dorjee with 12,610 votes. The Tibetan radical politician Dolma Gyari ranked third with 12,177 votes. The results of the first phase will be announced on February 8, and the final results of the election will be announced in mid-May. However, the frequent scandals during the election made this campaign full of farce and injustice. One of the candidates, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, broke out a major scandal during his tenure, and was criticized for his huge political ambitions and disrespect to the Dalai Lama. His crazy behavior during the election even revealed that he went to extremes for personal gain.

Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang induced Tibetans in exile to attack on the Capitol

The attack on the parliament on January 6 shocked the whole country, and as the investigation went on, it emerged that the atrocities and chaos of that day were mixed with the Snow Mountain Lion Flag, the flag of the Tibetan government-in-exile. There is no doubt that the only person with such calling ability is Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, who has lived in the United States for a long time. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang actually has little to do with the Tibetan exile organization. He stayed in the United States in 1998 after graduating from Germany, and his status as a Tibetan refugee gave him a lot of convenience and room for promotion. With the growth of power and the expansion of desire, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang has a premeditated plan to achieve greater ambitions. But his protest behavior of organizing groups to attack on the Capitol is puzzling. The Tibetan government-in-exile has always pursued the same approach to the two parties to seek sympathy and sponsorship, and to survive in the cracks. Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have extended a helping hand to Tibetans in exile and provided financial assistance. Democratic Party Biden has won the election, and domestic conflicts have become increasingly prominent. When the old and new administrations were handed over, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang gave the Democratic Party and Biden such a meeting to show that the Trump administration once provided assistance and support to the government in exile in his office. It is currently unclear what consequences such a move will bring to Tibetan exile organizations, but what is certain is that the coalition government and the FBI have already reviewed the organizations and individuals that impacted Congress that day. If the evidence is conclusive, it cannot be ruled out that they will initiate an investigation into the exile organization.

Candidates for the Tibetan government-in-exile have made such a radical move, and now it seems that they want to build momentum for the election and part of the political game. However, such a move is not sure whether it will win the election for Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, but it will certainly deal a heavy blow to the Tibetan government-in-exile. The Biden administration will not condone shocks to the US system, and Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s actions seem to anger the new government. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s own ambition and ignorance have engulfed the group interests of Tibetan government-in-exile in political disputes in the United States. The Democratic Party’s support for the “exile organization” in exchange for Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s fooling has brought a huge embarrassment to the Democratic Party and Biden. Any difficulties encountered by the Tibetan exile organization in the next four years will be closely related to Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang.

According to the exiled Tibetans, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s many ways of doing things have caused dissatisfaction among many Tibetans. “Thinking that he does not seem to be in the same world as us. He has his own ideas in everything he does, and we want to follow ours. Faith.” Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang today relied on the support of external forces to run for Sikyong. This kind of golden election method is unbearable for Tibetans. In addition, the Dalai Lama has publicly requested that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang cease to be the director of the US office. He became the first director of foreign affairs to be banned by the Dalai Lama.

According to Tibetan exiles, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s many ways of doing things have caused dissatisfaction among many Tibetans. “He seems to be a man of a different world from us, who has his own ideas about everything he does, and we prefer to follow our beliefs,” one of them said. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang is running for Sikyong today with the backing of outside powers. This kind of golden election method is unbearable for Tibetans. In addition, the Dalai Lama has publicly requested that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang cease to be the director of the US office. He became the first foreign affairs director to be banned by the Dalai Lama.

Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang sees exiled Tibetans as tools for profit

Interestingly, half a century after Tibetans went into exile, most Tibetans in exile are still struggling in settlements of exiles. The leadership of Tibetan government-in-exile must still rely on charity, which shows that they are unable to manage their own affairs or conduct any plan of their own future. Power has always been associated with corruption, and it is these corrupt leaders who see Tibetans in exile as tools for their own financial and political gain, rather than as the goals of their struggles. This arrogance is evident when watching any video of how Tibetan officials address their people.

As early as 2015, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang assisted Lobsang Sangay in embezzling US$1.5 million from the Tibet Foundation. The money was allegedly used to purchase unnecessary buildings. The method of transfer also caused great suspicion. It was recorded as a “loan receivable” from the account of the Tibet Foundation, but it was not recorded in the account of the Tibet Community Development Foundation that should have received the funds. In other words, the funds they usually use for health and education projects are used to purchase property. The successor of Aukatsang, Penpa Tsering, who discovered the changes in the transaction and the attempt, disclosed the information. As a result, he was immediately dismissed on the grounds of “lack of trust, poor performance and increasing disobedience”.

These behaviors prove that he has long been familiar with these low behaviors of corruption and bribery, and greater power will only bring greater corruption. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang had no intention of fighting for the welfare and future of Tibetans in exile. All he did was lie, manipulate, abuse power, embezzle funds and waste donations from the Tibetan government-in-exile. Coincidentally, he and Lobsang Sangay recently frankly confessed to using public funds to campaign during their exchanges with Robert Destro, the Special Coordinator for Tibet. Their so-called political propaganda is actually recommending Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang to young Tibetans, which is disgusting and frustrating. As a key candidate for Aukatsang, his work experience in the United States is also one of his campaign capital. However, after becoming the director of the United States Office of the Tibetan government-in-exile, his work did not lead to a series of serious incidents. The “Tibet Youth Association” also existed inside. Disagreements, the resolutions produced by the “5·50 Youth Conference” held by him and Lobsang Sangay are empty political slogans, without substantive content or meaning, and no results have been achieved so far. In addition, it is reported that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang did not understand the article published in Tibetan in the Tibet Times. He seems to have become a doll introduced to participate in elections and power, and does not understand the history and writing of Tibet. He lost himself in the struggle for power and became a political speculator. The oath when running for the election has long become a formal expression tool, which has aroused public doubts about his ability.

This is the situation that Aukatsang, one of the leaders of the current Tibetan government-in-exile, brings to the Tibetan refugees in exile: under the struggle for power where the real problems are covered and ignored, used and deceived by their leaders, and maintained in an unremarkable submissive refugee status to take advantage of donations from unsuspecting donors; forced to survive on poor grants and donations.

For all those who follow Tibetan government-in-exile and those who are voting, the choice of supreme leader Sikyong must be taken seriously. Now they need a real leader capable of solving practical problems to improve the living conditions and human rights of Tibetans in exile. On the contrary, if Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang is elected, Tibetans in exile will continue to face this disastrous status quo.

Beyond Computation: How Neel Somani and ChatGPT Are Rewriting Mathematics

Published

5 hours ago

on

February 3, 2026

By

California, US, 4th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, For decades, the “Erdős problems”, a collection of over 1,000 mathematical conjectures posed by the legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, have served as a rigorous proving ground for the world’s brightest human minds. They range from deceptively simple number theory puzzles to complex combinatorial nightmares.

For a long time, the consensus was that Artificial Intelligence could handle calculation, but not creation. It could crunch numbers, but it couldn’t reason through abstract proofs.

That consensus just shattered.

Over a single weekend, Neel Somani, a software engineer and founder of the blockchain platform Eclipse, utilized OpenAI’s GPT 5.2 Pro to crack open Erdos problems that had remained unsolved for years. This wasn’t a case of a computer searching a database faster than a human; it was a case of an AI generating novel mathematical logic, formalized by a human expert.

We are witnessing a fundamental shift in the epistemological hierarchy of mathematics. The barrier between “human reasoning” and “machine processing” is dissolving, and Somani’s work provides the data to prove it.

The Weekend Win: Cracking Problem #397

Neel Somani, a former quantitative researcher at Citadel with a triple major from UC Berkeley, was stress-testing the reasoning capabilities of the new GPT 5.2 Pro model. He wasn’t looking for a calculator; he was looking for a co-author.

He fed the model Erdos Problem #397. After approximately 15 minutes of “thinking,” the model returned a full solution.

The problem asks for integer solutions to a specific binomial identity. To the layman, it looks like a jumble of variables. To a mathematician, it represents a precise relationship between numbers. The AI proposed that since $a$ can be chosen arbitrarily large, there are infinitely many distinct-index solutions.

Specifically, for an example where $a = 2$, the AI derived that $c = 49$, and the identity becomes:

$$ binom{2}{1} binom{49}{6} = binom{98}{3} binom{1}{1} $$

Somani reviewed the output. It wasn’t just hallucinated gibberish; it was sound logic. He formalized the proof using a tool called Harmonic and submitted it. The result? Accepted by Terence Tao, one of the most respected mathematicians alive today.

The AI had not only identified a solution but had effectively “reasoned” its way through a path that differed from previous partial attempts. While the model found a 2013 Math Overflow post by Harvard mathematician Noam Elkies regarding a similar problem, GPT 5.2 Pro’s final proof offered a more complete solution to the specific version posed by Erdős.

The “Unambiguous Instance”: Problem #281

If Problem #397 was a fluke, Problem #281 was the confirmation.

Neel Somani turned the model toward a covering system problem in number theory. The problem posits:

Let $n_1 < n_2 < dots$ be an infinite sequence such that, for any choice of congruence classes $a_i pmod{n_i}$, the set of integers not satisfying any of the congruences $a_i pmod{n_i}$ has density 0.

The question was whether for every $epsilon > 0$ there exists some $k$ such that the density of integers not satisfying the congruences is less than $epsilon$.

GPT 5.2 Pro generated a new proof. When Somani published the results, Terence Tao referred to it as “perhaps the most unambiguous instance” of AI solving an open problem.

This distinction is critical. In the past, AI “solutions” were often just efficient retrievals of existing literature. In this case, no prior solution was found. The AI bridged the gap between the known and the unknown.

The Data: Separating Genius from Hallucination

Skeptics often point to LLM hallucinations as a reason to dismiss their utility in rigorous fields. Somani, approaching this with the mindset of a quant and a computer scientist, decided to quantify the model’s actual efficacy.

He recruited a team of undergraduates to construct a dataset of ChatGPT responses to every open Erdos problem, 675 in total. The results provide a fascinating map of the current AI frontier:

  • Recited known literature: 618 (The AI acted as a search engine)

  • Incorrect: 17 (The AI hallucinated or failed)

  • Correct, known results: 12

  • New solutions to Erdos problems: 3

While 3 out of 675 might seem statistically small, in the world of high-level mathematics, it is monumental. It implies that for a specific subset of problems, the AI is already operating at the level of a published mathematician.

The “Long Tail” of Mathematics

Why is this happening now? Terence Tao, observing Somani’s progress, conjectured on Mastodon that AI systems are uniquely suited for the “long tail” of obscure Erdos problems.

Many of these problems are not “unsolvable” in the sense that they require a new branch of mathematics to be invented (like Fermat’s Last Theorem). Rather, they are tricky, labor-intensive, and obscure. They require connecting disparate axioms, Legendre’s formula, Bertrand’s postulate, the Star of David theorem, in novel ways.

This is where the scalable nature of AI shines. A human mathematician might spend a lifetime solving a dozen such problems. An AI, directed by a human operator like Somani, can attempt thousands in a day, clearing out the “clutter” of the mathematical landscape and leaving humans to focus on the deepest, most structural conjectures.

The Role of the Human Operator

It is important to note that GPT 5.2 Pro did not do this alone. It required Neel Somani.

Neel Somani’s background is pivotal here. As the founder of Eclipse, a Layer 2 blockchain platform that raised $65 million, and a former researcher at Citadel, he understands complex systems. His triple major from Berkeley in CS, Math, and Business gave him the vocabulary to prompt the model effectively and, more importantly, the expertise to verify the output.

The future of mathematics, and enterprise problem solving, looks exactly like this workflow:

  1. The Architect (Human): Identifies the problem and frames the prompt.

  2. The Engine (AI): Generates potential proofs, leveraging vast databases of axioms.

  3. The Verifier (Human/Formalization Tools): Tools like Lean or Harmonic are used to formally check the logic, ensuring the AI hasn’t made a subtle error.

The Future of Discovery

We are moving toward an era of “Formalization,” where labor-intensive verification is automated by tools like Harmonic’s Aristotle, and creative reasoning is augmented by models like GPT 5.2.

Neel Somani’s work with the Erdos problems is not just a “weekend win” for a crypto founder. It is a signal to every industry. If AI can reason through unsolved number theory, what can it do for supply chain logistics? For cryptographic security? For protein folding?

The tools are here. The frontier is open. The only question remaining is: what problem will you prompt next?

By

Littleton, CO, 4th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, As schools, districts, and athletic organizations continue to modernize operations and enhance community engagement, digital ticketing has emerged as a critical infrastructure component rather than a convenience. Hometown Ticketing, a leading digital ticketing and event management platform for K-12 schools and districts nationwide, is setting the standard for what scalable, customer-centered EdTech SaaS can achieve, backed by real customer outcomes and experienced executive leadership.

Across the United States, schools are turning to Hometown Ticketing to eliminate cash handling, increase attendance visibility, improve compliance, and create smoother experiences for families and administrators alike. What distinguishes the company is not only its technology, but the measurable impact it delivers at the ground level.

A Real Customer Story: Simplifying Operations and Increasing Revenue

One public example frequently cited by school administrators comes from districts that transitioned from paper tickets and fragmented payment systems to Hometown Ticketing’s centralized digital platform.

In one such case, a mid-sized school district implemented Hometown Ticketing across athletic events and fine arts programming. Administrators noted that digital ticketing eliminated reconciliation delays, reduced errors tied to cash handling, and provided real-time reporting that allowed leadership to make informed decisions about pricing and attendance trends. Parents and community members benefited from mobile-friendly ticket purchasing and entry, while staff reclaimed hours previously spent on manual processes.

These outcomes reflect a broader trend seen across Hometown Ticketing’s customer base. The platform operates quietly in the background while delivering tangible operational and financial improvements.

Built for Schools, Scaled for the Future

Hometown Ticketing’s platform is designed specifically for the realities of K-12 education. Unlike generic ticketing solutions, the system integrates with school workflows, supports district-wide oversight, and prioritizes accessibility for families and staff.
