They aren't going to stop at one, that's for sure. They already claimed they have "made substantial progress" on another millenium problem. Let's say they bag another one (Hodge and/or BSD according to the rumors), if it looks like their internal model could solve P/NP or Riemann Hypothesis, you think they wouldn't take that chance ?

If it's a counterexample to BSD, that would be pretty surprising.

It would also be a considerably more impressive achievement, because experts had mostly shifted to Navier-Stokes regularity being false, while as far as I know almost everybody thinks BSD is true. Hodge people seem less sure about.

If either conjecture is true and they prove it, that would be an even bigger success, since the techniques might unlock any number of other theorems.
