I don‘t think this is gatekeeping. OpenAI is filthy rich, they can afford to pay mathematicians to go over these papers and produce results consistent with the scientific method. The fact they don‘t is evidence of their misalignment. Their motives are obviously ulterior and have nothing to do with advancing knowledge. If they were they would adhere to the scientific method, hire experts, and produce reproducible results.

Yes, that is gatekeeping. But there are more then one way to be misaligned. And the practice of publishers is not being discussed here. No need for whataboutism.
