A theoretical computer scientist says he has heard rumors that AI labs are sitting on major solutions after a hostile response to the Navier-Stokes proof (Scott Aaronson/Shtetl-Optimized) - 2026-09-16 05:13 · r/singularity
Scott Aaronson writes on his blog tonight that he has heard rumors that the AI companies have reached solutions to some very longstanding open problems in theoretical computer science, and are now sitting on multiple major announcements because of the Navier-Stokes firestorm. - 2026-09-16 01:07 · r/ArtificialInteligence
Quantum computing researcher and Chair of CS at the UTexas at Austin: “I’m told that the AI companies, having been burned by the hostile response to the Navier-Stokes proof, are now sitting on solutions to some very major problems until they figure out a better way to handle things” - 2026-09-15 20:21 · r/singularity
