alt Hacker NewsI don‘t think this is gatekeeping. OpenAI is filthy rich, they can afford to pay mathematicians to go over these papers and produce results consistent with the scientific method. The fact they don‘t is evidence of their misalignment. Their motives are obviously ulterior and have nothing to do with advancing knowledge. If they were they would adhere to the scientific method, hire experts, and produce reproducible results.

Yes, that is gatekeeping. But there are more then one way to be misaligned. And the practice of publishers is not being discussed here. No need for whataboutism.
Wait, what has OpenAI done that is not “consistent with the scientific method”?

Do other researchers or research institutions “pay mathematicians (other than those in their employ) to go over these papers” or do they simply publish their work for review as part of producing “reproducible results”?
AI may be taking over Mathematicians’ jobs, along with everyone else’s, and it’s OK to hate that, but the scientific method says nothing about that, or hiring experts, or ulterior motives, or “being filthy rich.”
