Mathematician Afinetheorem claims: 1) a Navier-Stokes result, described as "Nobel-level," will be shown soon by humans+AI; 2) OpenAI also has an internal proof; 3) OpenAI had AI pursue a path partly based on rumors of a strategy that might work; 4) the insinuation that OpenAI trained on the humans' GPT input is unfair. The posts respond to Andrew Curran's coverage, with a full statement posted page by page. Details remain unverified.
