Per Polymarket, the Association for Human Mathematics is calling on all mathematicians to boycott OpenAI after it released 700+ mathematical research files. The resharing author mocks the move: "Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done — then what exactly were mathematicians doing? Solving math problems for fun on public funds?" The post captures the simmering feud between the math community and AI labs over use of research materials.
