OpenAI Made History. Nobody Understands It.

05.11.2026 · 11 Min.

Shownotes

OpenAI says its AI solved one of the hardest problems in math. It’s a $1 million problem about how water moves, and nobody had solved it in 90 years. But two months later, nobody fully understands the answer. Not the mathematicians checking it, and not even OpenAI. 0:00 Intro 1:16 Can Water Explode? 2:38 The Spoon 3:51 Eighty-Eight Hours 6:09 Nobody Understands It 7:28 The Flood 8:10 What It Means 9:46 My take Voice: my real voice Tristan Buckmaster’s account of his meeting with OpenAI is his own.
