OpenAI agents use 130B tokens to solve Navier-Stokes problem, sparking labor debate

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI has utilized AI agents to tackle the complex Navier-Stokes problem, a significant challenge in fluid dynamics. In the process, these agents exchanged 2.7 million messages and consumed approximately 130 billion output tokens. This extensive computational effort has sparked discussion about the nature of labor and exploitation within the context of AI development, particularly from an anticapitalist perspective. AI
