That's just money flowing into OpenAI, from the people who used to pay mathematicians.

Okay? Again, when I was in my group, money would flow to Nvidia to buy GPUs that we would use to run simulations (in addition to the experimental devices I mentioned). The researchers could also request money to use for openrouter or build their own GPU cluster if everyone thinks it's good use of funds.

Shouldn't we pay for the best tools if it helps researchers to be more effective?
