OpenAI accused of scooping math researchers who used its models for their work

A viral post argues OpenAI invited outside researchers to work with its models, then months later scooped math researchers inside the lab.
The original prediction from July @ns123abc: lure academics with limited compute, collect their ideas and data, then rerun the research internally with unlimited compute. Commenters say events played out exactly that way, calling it a troubling precedent for academic-AI lab collaboration.
