"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

"Mathematicians solved prestigious problem and Codex helped" would have been great propaganda for OpenAI, but they managed to make an easy win into a PR disaster. Instead the message researchers around the world take away is probably: "Don't use Codex it steals your research data and OpenAI will publish it as their own".
I think the whole story is that a rumour started about Anthropic solving a millennium problem and OpenAI went in full panic mode trying to beat them to it.
Turns out an anthropic employee was a coauthor on the original paper, but that was something he was doing on the side, not under the Anthropic's institution (using several LLMs, including OpenAI's and Anthropic's).
Allegedly, OpenAI then tried to coerce the original author into authoring their proof and cutting off the anthropic guy.
These dicks just wanted to be the only ones involved and it backfired.
I have been telling my colleagues for years: a bunch of very desperate and very amoral people are getting all your work in plaintext, don't say I didn't warn you.
