After OpenAI's announcement that 10,000 AI agents proved a "blowup" (singularity) in the Navier-Stokes equations, researcher Peter Wildeford pointed out the delicious irony: the proof literally hinges on a mathematical singularity — the same word AI circles use for the technological kind.
A one-line pun that's already making the rounds in both math and AI communities following the Millennium Prize announcement.
