@yujins.chalkdust: (Pt 1/2) The NYTimes just today put out a second article covering some of the story I'm sharing here, but it is still sorely lacking. My sincere hope in making this video is that we can all see AI Frontier Labs for what they really are. Today the AI companies are after mathematics, but tomorrow they may be after your field. If that day comes, I hope you’ll organize against them faster than us. I just launched my substack @yujinschalkdust -- subscribe for thoughts, video scripts, and updates on what I'm making of life #openai #anthropic #math
AI produced math should be as auditable as human math, otherwise what did we learn from solving the problem ?

Spending $20M to solve a $1M problem sums up this AI bubble so well

Excellent take.

Basically, the puzzle pieces were already crafted and AI simply put them together, but now AI bros are running around saying AI created those pieces.

Well it is all still very impressive, the world we live, then we still have homeless, unemployment, hunger, depression… etc

I feel like Open AI is the high school bully who steals everyone else’s homework and calls it theirs …

So mathematicians are more concerned about credit than advancing and solving problems.

Math guy interested in grad school i was excited for AI now im having second thoughts

It’s kinda sad because artists have been saying this for years now, but somehow the math problem is a surprise. Yeah they stole copy-rigged material from almost every creative in history but we do MATH and nothing silly therefore they won’t touch our research for sure.

Now if maths has new idea, OpenAI can use that idea and deploy 10000 then claim the result

open AI stole it. any "new" idea from AI is actually stolen, at least in current AI paradigms

I think no one thought through what AI will eventually do to the human ego

moral of the story, don't use GPT to solve a novel problem, they might steal your methods🤔

Everything that could be learned along the way to a solution—gone. Because a machine learning algorithm brute-forced its way through Lean off the back of plagiarized research. Nauseating.

I’ve heard just this week of multiple higher ups from AI companies have been warning about how dangerous AI really is and how we shouldn’t be playing with it.

Thank you for giving a great run down of the problem. It was informative and helpful for people who are not mathematicians ♥️

The problems go back not give credit to the Spanish authors as they are the ones who sketched how the method should work. From my perspective, US researchers were as shady as Open AI leveraging on a study without formal collaboration.

so? what ever gave us the impression that the world is fair or ethical including the world of science?

So wait, a mathematician starts getting a tiny bit of progress towards a problem so everyone else just stops working to solve it out of “respect?” At what point do you go “hmm we’ve given them plenty of time, now it’s our turn to try”
