PDE Mathematicians Joke-Beg OpenAI to Solve Another Millennium Problem Next
jasondeanlee · x · 2026-09-11
PDE analyst Scott Armstrong jokingly pleads for OpenAI to "single out" another field, saying his community stopped laughing after the Navier-Stokes result. He also argues Charlie Fefferman erred by allowing a nonzero RHS, so the solved version wasn't the "true problem" — a relaxation only permitted because old-timers naively believed the regularity conjecture. The post shows how hard the math world has been shaken by OpenAI's breakthrough.
