Mathematician slams OpenAI's Navier-Stokes claim: like a billionaire bragging about a trapped rhino
deliprao · x · 2026-09-10
Mathematician Quasilocal says OpenAI's handling of the Navier-Stokes claim is the first time he's felt genuine disgust at 'AI in math'. His analogy: like a billionaire mounting the head of an endangered rhino on his wall after 1000 soldiers trapped it — implying OpenAI packaged a breakthrough built on the math community's accumulated work as its own. A representative academic critique in the ongoing AI-for-math controversy.
