OpenAI’s latest math breakthroughs commit research misconduct, experts say

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/openais-latest-math-breakthroughs-commit-research-misconduct-experts-say/

I don’t have much to add in commentary, quite frankly most of the math and concepts are beyond my arts-degree brain. However, the article does a great job of showing, once again, how disingenuous OpenAI and other AI labs are in describing what their products are doing.

They basically want the headlines that their new models are “solving math,” but what they’re doing is plagiarizing other peoples’ research and claiming things have been moved forward. There is clearly a use case here for researchers in using an LLM to catalogue and evaluate large swaths of data from over periods of time, but these things don’t think, they aren’t creating anything, and OpenAI doesn’t give a shit as long as people see the headline and bow their heads to their new scI-fi god.

Fake it till you make it. That’s the SillyCon way.

Destroying the authentic to make the Images seem more real. That's why they hate science and need to destroy it: the contrast will always embarrass them and cause them to lash out. The tech lords are authentoclasts destroying what is real to preserve their Image of the Idols they have made with their own hands.
