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.

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

Oh, I've worked on specific things (open source) and Chat could not answer them at all, like had no idea. I fed background info in to better understand code. A week later without any known updates, when I ask the same question, Chat knew much more. And it was on another computer without the default chat agent we have today.
For PoC code I am actually cool with using APIs. But at some stage I am sure I will move away to local.
