As a Physics student and lover, AI killed my excitment for N Anonymous 09/09/26(Wed)06:33:38 No.109769207

I used to discuss the Navier-Stokes problem with my friends at Uni, we always got excited to read advances in the field and just awe at how interesting the problem was, along all the other open problems that shaped our search for knowledge in math and physics alike.
Today should be a great day, I should be happy and awed that N-S apparently has been cracked, revealing new insights, a millennium problem being solved is a crazy accomplishment. Yet when reading that OpenAI posted the claim, reading that 10000 agents using 300 billion tokens cannibalized and forced the problem, the only thing I felt was apathy. I didn't care at all. I just thought "ok, whatever".
Then there was anger, connecting the dots about the fact that Tristan and Levent were doing some breakthroughs and as soon as OpenAI realized it, they most probably scraped their work and the work of hundreds of matemathicians before them, and released their rabid AI agents to brainlessly compute the problem.
Anger because we will never know the truth about this, and no one will care enough to investigate on the fact that as soon as some breakthorughs occurred, OpenAI conveniently started working on N-S and claimed a supposedly unreleased model to be the sole and only champion that solved it totally on its own.
This is just a rant, no one will probably care about this or will probably think "whatever, progress is progress". But damn I hate these evil corporations, as mundane and banal as their evil is in chasing hype and forcing themselves as leaders of societal advance.
