Devs push back on OpenAI's math advisory group: science needs no permission
NachoSoto · x · 2026-10-09
Reacting to OpenAI's release of model-generated math results guided by an Institute for Advanced Study advisory group, Seb Aaltonen objects: science has never been about asking permission to contribute — if you have something to say, you say it; if you have a proof, you write a paper. In his view, no "Advisory Group" should decide who can and can't contribute to scientific research. The comment captures a growing split over third-party gatekeeping of AI-generated scientific output.
