The author reacts with disbelief to OpenAI's reported 5-day solution of the Navier-Stokes problem, calling it genuinely mind-blowing.
He extrapolates: if feats that shouldn't be possible are now happening, what happens when you scale to 1000x the agents running for 1000 days? Massive parallel agent fleets may be unlocking problems long considered unsolvable.
