Haider shares a playful conspiracy theory: OpenAI deliberately made Codex lazier to conserve compute for the remaining Millennium Problems and the hardest questions in theoretical physics. His supporting evidence: OpenAI reportedly threw 10,000 AI agents at Navier–Stokes and made progress in particle physics, so the theory "isn't that crazy anymore."
