Pachter doubles down: OpenAI/Anandkumar singularity paper offers numerical evidence, not disproof
lpachter · x · 2026-09-09
Lior Pachter presses his critique of the Anandkumar/OpenAI fluid singularity paper, arguing its approximate profiles only constitute 'numerical evidence against the Hou–Jin–Liu conjecture' rather than a disproof, since no exact singular solution is established and the stability argument remains unclosed. The post folds in his earlier question on whether the 'found' solution is exact or merely a numerical candidate.
