4chan's critique of OpenAI's math turns out to be 'algo bad because galactic'
beenwrekt · x · 2026-10-12
X user mgostIH relayed a 4chan greentext meme: someone asked a Berkeley professor whether OpenAI's math was Knuthian or slop, pulled out diagrams on Donald Knuth's contributions and asymptotics, and then looked inside the original critique—only to find "Algo bad because galactic" (astronomically large constants making it unusable in practice). beenwrekt quipped that the site is "nothing but anonymous morons."
