Rumor: OpenAI pointing its Navier-Stokes-proof model at Riemann Hypothesis and P vs NP
jeremiecharris · x · 2026-09-12
A rumor claims OpenAI is using the internal model that produced its Navier–Stokes proof to attempt the Riemann Hypothesis and P vs NP (unverified). David Kasten responds: a constructive P=NP proof would make national security policy go insane overnight—cryptography would need a worldwide crash-upgrade, and signals intelligence services could suddenly decrypt old datasets VENONA-style, panicking every nation-state. He puts the odds under 1% but says he's stopped betting against crazy this year.
