Astrophysicist Kevin Schawinski mocked the OpenAI math-paper hype: 'BREAKING: OpenAI has improved Newton's law of gravitation. F = Gm₁m₂/r^1.99999999999983. Lean proof is forthcoming.' The joke — an exponent tuned to 14 decimal places yet still not 2 — went viral as commentary on overblown AI math claims.
