Gary Marcus publicly endorsed calls for pure mathematicians to boycott OpenAI, which stemmed from accusations that the company clearly violated basic ethics of scientific conduct. Marcus went further, asking why the boycott should stop at mathematicians — why not all scientists, or everyone who cares about science? The statement adds fuel to ongoing industry criticism of OpenAI's research-ethics practices.
