Mathematicians should demand OpenAI release all its math solutions, argues post

An opposing camp of mathematicians should publish an open letter asking OpenAI to release all of its math solutions, argues @panickssery — otherwise people will keep working on problems already solved, "a great waste for those who care about math progress over status hierarchy and prestige."

The signature examples in the letter are Claude-generated, a tongue-in-cheek nod to the earlier mathematicians' letter targeting OpenAI.
