OpenAI denies Codex prompts influenced Navier-Stokes system as drama spirals on X

- An OpenAI spokesman stated: "We can say categorically that it is impossible for Dr. Buckmaster's Codex prompts over the last two months to have influenced the system in any way, including training," per NYT's Kenneth Chang.
- The quote relates to escalating allegations around OpenAI's involvement in the Navier-Stokes breakthrough dispute.
- A viral retweet adds unsupported speculation: that Buckmaster and Alpöge fabricated the allegations after their thunder was stolen, and that Anthropic was backing their "personal" Navier-Stokes efforts.
- No evidence backs the conspiracy claims; the core verifiable fact is OpenAI's official categorical denial.
