This is the academic equivalent of Trump saying "they stole the election". There's no proof of it but rah rah fuck OpenAI.

It's incredibly tiresome and you'd think people could put more effort into it than just following whatever vibes they agree with.

Oh well.

it does change the scale of solution from "solved some navier stokes" to "put the cherry on top"

having a result means the math can keep moving forward, and having openai and anthropic train against how mathematicians use their models should let math continue to move faster, and the rest of us get to benefit.

I think these traces however should be public domain and publicly available, since they are basically university work

Good comparison. One is a multi-year claim by people who have been given ample opportunity to provide proof and completely refuse to do, even in courts of law. The other is a potential development in a breaking story.

Oh wait... its not a good comparrison, its an incredibly obvious false equivalence.

Note for the fools: I'm only commenting on the bad faith claim in the comment I'm replying to, not taking a stance on the validity of theft claims. Given the players involved the truth probably some nuanced middle-ground that is worth paying attention to anyway.

No, its a pure outrage. I defended OpenAI til today. I now affirm they must be totally destroyed, burned utterly to the ground.
