I have only twice (knowingly) refereed AI slop. I'm mostly talking about refereeing in the period 2010 - 2020. (However, looking here https://proofsandprompts.com/2026/10/08/100-reactions-to-100... it seems that many other consider many of the papers poorly written. I just wanted to give one datapoint.)

I am a working mathematician. A problem that I cared about greatly (and probably spent > 3000 hours working on) was on their list. I looked at the paper, and I have to say it is more clearly written than about 30% of the papers I typically referee. I don't want to name poorly written papers, but I agree that "there are plenty of published papers that are just as poorly written as OpenAI's".

I fear Maduro suggested this to Trump.

the problem with additive notation is that the braid group isn't commutative when number of strands is > 2.

I think it is fair to say that any blowing-up solution of navier stokes would be of purely intellectual interest. NS is a problem that many smart people have thought about and failed to solve. The current picture is that there are probably self-similar blowing up solutions that exist at extremely high codimension in the space of initial conditions. Thus they are "probability zero", and, if essentially never arise in nature. (A nice analogy: imagine a movie of a stone falling into a pond, and the ripples created afterwards. Now run the movie of the ripples backwards. We never see this in nature!)
