COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) The sequence has infinitely many terms.
(ii) There are infinitely many primes p such that p^2 = pi(x^3+y^3) for some positive integers x and y.
See also A262731 for a related conjecture.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2 since pi(1^3)+pi(2^3) = 0+4 = 2^2 with 2 prime.
a(3) = 23 since pi(9^3)+pi(14^3) = pi(729)+pi(2744) = 129+400 = 529 = 23^2 with 23 prime.
a(20) = 9967 since pi(841^3)+pi(1109^3) = pi(594823321)+pi(1363938029) = 31068537+68272552 = 99341089 = 9967^2 with 9967 prime.
a(38) = 124309 since pi(5773^3)+pi(5779^3) = pi(192399824917)+pi(193000344139) = 7714808769+7737918712 = 15452727481 = 124309^2 with 124309 prime.
a(45) = 165233 since pi(6924^3)+pi(7148^3) = pi(331948857024)+pi(365219225792) = 13025048890+14276895399 = 27301944289 = 165233^2 with 165233 prime.
