Terence Tao amplifies AHM statement: OpenAI's 700-file math release is 'power, not scholarship'
Eng_Hemdi · x · 2026-10-08
Terence Tao reposted a guest statement from the Association for Human Mathematics condemning OpenAI's October 6 release of a repository of math manuscripts. AHM argues mathematicians never asked for this, that OpenAI's own advisory group opposed testing hard math problems on internal models, and that dumping 700+ files at once 'is not a demonstration of scholarship, but a demonstration of power.' It urges mathematicians to stop working with OpenAI — notable as OpenAI defends lawsuits over plagiarism and copyright claims.
