If the new model is that good, and is chewing through open problems at an unprecedented rate, the smart move would have been to let the humans have their W on this one and present solutions to those other problems.

Especially if there really is a long list of them.

"Here are a few hundred proofs" is far more convincing than "We really Navier Stokes and coincidentally someone else did too but we don't know the details or anything, who us, definitely not."

It's a PR fiasco, and a cynic might wonder if it's entirely about the IPO.

I'm consistently entertained by how these companies, with the most advanced models on the planet, consistently do the most idiotic things.
