Commenting on criticism that mathematicians weren't consulted before OpenAI released its math results, @basedjensen argues OpenAI did the right thing by dumping everything to GitHub rather than flooding preprint servers and pursuing journal publication — a path that could have given them far more impact inside academia.
The take highlights the tension between AI labs and the pure math community over publication norms: whether industry labs owe anything to traditional peer-review etiquette.
