Anastasia BendeburyGUEST
So the question that you asked before the break was you asked if we had been paying attention to the fact that AI seems to be solving these open mathematical problems where it has finally provided a solution for the Navier-Stokes equation.

Anastasia BendeburyGUEST
And this has been this longstanding challenge where it's like a very, very attractively difficult problem to solve, computationally very intense.

Anastasia BendeburyGUEST
And it seems like the newest ChatGPT model, I think it's Astra, finally solved it.

Anastasia BendeburyGUEST
And immediately after this announcement, there was a really interesting drama that started to play out where these two researchers that had been working on Navier-Stokes in the background and had been using ChatGPT's codecs in order to run simulations discovered that...

Anastasia BendeburyGUEST
The approach that OpenAI used to solve Navier-Stokes was exactly their approach.

And so what does that mean exactly? Is it a thing? Is it a quality? And a huge part of our project when we were trying to build out this structure and trying to actually understand the structure of the medium that conveys the tensile pressure of gravity and the push of light was analyzing the concept of mass.
