Smart move by them for waiting until the drama died down before making a completely neutral statement. The statement is so sterile they don't even mention who solved it. The word "OpenAI" doesn't appear at all.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were they just born with a heart full of neutrality?

"In recent years there has been an increasing sense of anticipation as breakthroughs in the surrounding field (some recognised by the Clay Research Award) have raised hopes that the Navier-Stokes problem might soon be resolved. The increasing ability of new technologies to accelerate mathematical research has heightened this sense of anticipation." Keyword: New Technologies

  It's optimistic and grounded in knowledge seeking. I like it too. It's easy to get caught in the details of today. Our skepticism, our distrust, our loathing. For people, for companies. This is a nice pull in the other direction, a silver lining. In the grand scheme of things, we're solving these frontier problems: Somebody did it and that's amazing. That's what it was all about when this started of in 2000.
