Did OpenAI solve the wrong Navier-Stokes problem?
OpenAI recently claimed to have solved the Navier-Stokes problem, a feat that could earn a $1-million prize. This claim has sparked controversy, particularly regarding the timing of their announcement. Two mathematicians previously developed a method to trigger a "blowup" for frictionless fluid, a significant step towards solving Navier-Stokes. OpenAI then reportedly completed the task less than a day later, leading to a dispute. This rapid advancement in AI technology is seen as a "wake-up call" for the scientific community.
