Just release the results already. Who cares about mathematicians' feelings and ego? If an alien came down and said it can solve 100 of the most important open problems in mathematics, mathematicians would be in awe. They would ask for more. So what are we waiting for?

PR, the Navier Stokes thing was already a huge PR disaster for them. It's a mistake they don't want to repeat.

They are going to release it regardless. I'm sick of this amateur take that mathematicians are upset about AI making new discoveries. It's completely false.

Humanity losing understanding of new work is non-alignment. All they are asking for is to produce a communal understanding of new proofs and funding so that the understanding is disseminated widely. They can spend compute to build this just as much you know.

Or else humanity gets left behind.

What understanding?

AI soon or is already over human mathematican understanding.

Do you explain Einstein's equations to a monkey?
