A few things that jumped out at me from this post by a sober cybersecurity staff member at OpenAI:
"OpenAI has publicly announced a solution [to Navier-Stokes] produced by an internal model, alongside advances across many domains in mathematics. To say it lightly: this surprised the fuck out of us. We had not expected it this soon. Suddenly we weren’t dealing with just a small jump in capabilities; we were talking about a different sport altogether."
"As I hinted above, surprise is a real element, and these model capabilities are staggering. And the pace is not slowing. I believe, like many, that it will speed up, and considerably."
"I have seen many things over the past few months that have surprised me again and again and again. And each day I wake up thinking, 'oh, I’ve seen it all,' only to be surprised and left dumbfounded once more."
