    I assume the downvotes (not me) because most such attempts have an obvious flaw in them and do not really add to our understanding of the problem.

The last such serious attempt was likely Norbert Blum's attempted proof of P $neq$ NP in 2017. Not long after it was submitted to arxiv, it was discovered to have a serious (but nontrivial) flaw.



This proof was discussed on stackexchange here (and in more detail here), and on several blogs (like Godel's Lost Letter).
