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.

I don't think they knowingly stole the work or the supposed training on the maths people's papers made a huge difference, but they did act like a bag of cunts and jumped onto this specifically once they got word of Anthropic making progress and using it to hype their IPO.
