OpenAI algorithm for the FFT is less a breakthrough and more a malicious exploit

The article argues that OpenAI’s claimed faster FFT is not a practical algorithmic breakthrough but a “galactic” result with hidden constants so large that it has no meaningful business or technical value today. For CIOs and technology leaders, the key implication is that AI-generated research claims in advanced math and engineering must be validated against real-world scalability, implementation cost, and operational usefulness before influencing roadmap decisions or R&D investments.
