People have been brute forcing the Collatz problem for awhile (up to values around 2.95×10^20); just like computing Pi to set glory records, you have to be prepared to rent Amazon hardware. I think there was a proof that demonstrated that if the Collatz conjecture were false, then the cycle has to be immensely large.
