More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
summary
Accessing the Mastodon web application requires the user to enable JavaScript in their browser settings. If JavaScript is disabled, the site remains non-functional and cannot be loaded. Users who cannot or will not enable JavaScript are encouraged to use native applications instead. This ensures the web app functions as intended for the majority of users.
key points
- The web application depends on JavaScript to render its content and provide interactivity. Without this technology enabled, the interface cannot be displayed to the user.
- Native applications provide a viable alternative for those who prefer not to use a web browser. These apps are designed to work independently of browser-based JavaScript settings.
who should read it
People attempting to access Mastodon via a web browser with JavaScript disabled. It helps them understand why the site isn't loading and provides alternative ways to connect.
discussion hostile
consensus
Commenters largely agree that OpenAI's actions regarding the Navier-Stokes proof are unethical and a betrayal of trust. Many believe that whether the data theft was intentional or accidental, the result is a dangerous precedent where user contributions are harvested to benefit the company. There is a strong sentiment that OpenAI is directly competing with its own customers, leading to a loss of institutional trust.
top insight
The 'information laundering' concept suggests that AI models act as intermediaries that strip attribution from original researchers, allowing a third party to scoop work without knowing they are using stolen ideas. This creates a systemic risk where the model's training process effectively anonymizes the intellectual theft, making it impossible for original contributors to claim credit. This perspective shifts the focus from a single instance of misconduct to a structural flaw in how LLMs handle proprietary knowledge.
