Math group slams OpenAI's 700-file math release: "a demonstration of power, not scholarship"
RexDouglass · x · 2026-10-08
The Association for Human Mathematics published a statement attacking OpenAI's October 6 release of 700+ mathematical manuscripts. Key points:
- Mathematicians "did not ask for this work"; the advisory group OpenAI cites originally opposed frontier labs testing advanced math on internal models.
- Context: OpenAI is currently defending plagiarism and copyright lawsuits.
- AHM calls the mass release "a demonstration of power, not scholarship" and urges mathematicians to stop working with OpenAI.
Reposter geelaw95 pushes back, calling the statement gate-keeping that excludes anyone who doesn't condemn OpenAI.
