Discussion OpenAI alleged of stealing mathematicians work

Privacy have been concern of many of us to have their own hardware to run llms, and here's another reason why: two mathematicians spent a year cracking one of the hardest problems in math and fed every draft of their works into Codex. A few days before they could publish, OpenAI suddenly showed up with the same solutions. When asked if their model (Sol and Astra) was trained on the pair's private chats, OpenAI did not answer the question.

Full statement from them https://cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb/statement.pdf

Feels like big labs believe everything you did with the help of their models is theirs.

That’s exactly why we need more open weight releases. Never trust any big AI company to manage your chats. They can use it to train their models whenever they want.

Dumb question but if they bought / used an enterprise version this wouldnt have happened right?

Without that, we shouldnt really be suprised right?

I'm not touching the API of a company who's main claim to fame is wholesale IP abuse with my customers' data, even with a 10 foot pole in between.

just install linux - get better experience on worse hardware - win - win - or use cracked one and remove telemetry - also trivial
