Stanford professor slams AI lab for scooping math results, then preaching responsibility
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-09-23
Stanford professor Anshul Kundaje criticized an AI lab for what he calls a pattern: doing highly irresponsible things — apparently scooping a responsibly-shared solution to open math problems — then turning around and making grand proclamations about wanting to be responsible. He argues the lab effectively got two shots at attention instead of doing the responsible thing in the first place. The thread context notes that the idea of responsibly sharing solutions to open math problems predates the lab's model and was properly conceived months earlier.
