> Might have to do with the circumstances of Open AIs conduct that was quite sketchy to say the least?

OpenAI did nothing wrong, being a Fields medalist does not give anyone a monopoly on the truth.

receiving a prize for math or any other discipline doesn't even mean the person was right or truthful. just sayin'.

Fields medalists aren't made on some Fields factory. These are 25 people from different backgrounds, generations, educational institutions and countries. It's kind of incredible you guys think they decided to collude against OpenAI rather than simply addressing a concern about their field they believe is important.

I am aware of this. As I am aware they at times decide not to give anyone one... shrug.

Mathematicians were somewhat wiser in the 1960s but the biologists and social sciences never were.

Never said they were colluding. I said I have no patience for incumbents asking for restrictions on a technology that threatens the value of their expertise.

That’s because you have literally no idea about anything you’re weighing in on.

This is just fucking absurd.
