Citing Sebastien Bubeck, Jason Dean Lee notes OpenAI has struck similar collaboration deals with several mathematicians after earlier model-driven math proofs. Bubeck said he was "a little bit shocked by the reaction on the other side, which was not cooperative" — implying a mathematician's existing collaborator was cut out when OpenAI stepped in. The episode highlights how AI labs are signing direct deals with top mathematicians, reshaping traditional academic collaborations.
