Piet Mondrian's painting framed as the optimal packing of 9 rectangles in AI-circle joke
KyleCranmer · x · 2026-10-24
Kyle Cranmer joked on X by captioning a Mondrian painting as "optimal packing of 9 rectangles," then self-replied with "optimal packing of 11 polygons by Henri Matisse — no Lean certificate provided."
The meme punctures the habit of dressing everything up as an optimization problem with formal proofs, landing well amid the current AI math-reasoning hype.
