OpenAI asked 3 scientific fields how to release AI discoveries — got 3 very different answers

Replit CEO amasad shares that OpenAI consulted three scientific communities on how to release its AI-driven discoveries, and got three distinct strategies (per the attached screenshot):
- Math: just release the AI output and let researchers organize efforts to explain it on their own — "just post it."
- Computer science: form an external collaborator group to explain the result while making the AI output publicly available, plus pay for the conference culture.
- Physics: form an external group of collaborators and defer to them entirely on releasing materials.
A humorous look at how different academic cultures approach publishing AI-generated scientific results.
