Researcher predicts more secrecy as AI makes rumor-speed math breakthroughs the norm
Afinetheorem · x · 2026-09-08
Mathematician Afinetheorem weighs in on the priority dispute around the 3D Euler/Navier–Stokes singularity proof: AI moves so fast that "rumors of the idea" may be enough to crack a problem, so original authors deserve to write up results their own way first. He predicts increased secrecy in research — exactly the dynamic predicted in his paper with Jorge.
