On: Did OpenAI solve the wrong Navier-Stokes problem?

Is it really impressive, or just kind of interesting?

If they spent about 10 GWh solving the problem (was it solved?) then that is much much more than 500 lifetimes of a human brain working.

A specific version of the problem has been solved. But not the broader, harder version. The article explains that fairly clearly.

I’m very anti AI and OpenAI, and do think it’s a pretty interesting finding! Very likely not worth their spend, but interesting and novel nonetheless the less

yeah but the problem they solved is not really useful. the article is also quite clear on that
