Viral rant slams OpenAI's Navier-Stokes claim: 10k agents for 88 hours forced a singularity, solved nothing
thedealdirector · x · 2026-09-10
A quoted tweet tears into Sam Altman's claim of solving Navier-Stokes with 10,000 agents running 88 hours on a multimillion-dollar GPU cluster, calling it scientific vulgarity. The author argues formalizing a blowup case in Lean under an ad hoc smooth external forcing term is a mathematical loophole — the actual Clay Millennium Prize problem concerns global smooth existence for 3D incompressible Euler/Navier-Stokes under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone.
