Elliot Glazer slams 1,500 academics for ruining a novel 3-day undergrad experience
ctjlewis · x · 2026-09-12
Mathematician Elliot Glazer (quoting a discussion around the "Navier-Stokes situation") loudly criticizes 1,500 academics for deciding to ruin a novel 3-day experience for undergrads, arguing that rationalizations like "it's just one event" or "they can learn these skills elsewhere" could downplay any petty, embarrassing, disgraceful act. The thread also debates whether the move undermines the ability to have a clear conversation about the earlier Navier-Stokes situation — a pointed argument within the AI/math community.
