As mathematicians protest AI labs, KOL urges OpenAI to keep shipping fast
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-10-09
Responding to an open letter from a group of mathematicians pushing back on AI labs' work in mathematics, DrSingularity argues OpenAI and other labs shouldn't be intimidated and should keep releasing their latest work as fast as possible, noting not all mathematicians share the letter's views. His case: every solved problem expands human knowledge and feeds the next discovery, with payoffs far beyond math — better medicine, new materials, cleaner energy.
