Who is this math community? Since when did they form the consensus that this option is not at all what they care about, before or after they knew about OpenAI’s solution?
What about Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge, did they also attempt to solve the same challenge? Didn’t they know it wasn’t interesting?

Yes, they were working on what is considered a niche case, the option C from the millennium statement for Navier-Stokes. The article explains that clearly, you can just read it and get the details
I wish there were some better way to see, before the IPO, how openAI's actions correlate with their bottomline.
(I'm proAI (for the masses, but green) BUT antiopenAI and a bit less antiAnthropic. For me it's all about the personalities.. the people in oAI are deeply uncool. not so in Ant. Dario is still dangerous, but I guess sexily dangerous lol
Dario is sexily dangerous until you read his essays in full then realize it’s just the same LessWrong sci-fi ideas at the core, all based on absurdly simplified thought experiments designed to justify their priors. Those people are deeply unserious and do not value existing humans. They already made their mind decades ago rereading the fact we need a machine god and that they should be the ones building it.
Just the idea of making a conscious digital being, to then get it to process excel files for its whole existence is such an immoral concept
