Nobody came to him and forced him to read it, just like nobody is forcing you to read code I had chatgpt write.

If AI can solve such grand, outstanding math problems, and mathematicians argue these pure math problems are important, what’s the problem with them needing to read the output if they want to understand it?

Can't you read the article and understand how he kind is obligated to engage with it ?

The absolutely funny thing is, he is obligated precisely because the proof is very likely to be correct.

The alternative you are proposing implicitly is even crazier. OpenAI should not release a proof that is most likely correct so that it doesn’t burden others. What? It’s not about that guy dude. It’s about the society TM. One can’t delay progress because a guy may be burdened.

“Guys plz don’t release this thing that is absolutely correct but I’m kinda busy with other things ok?”

The alternative is that they do the work to properly present the results. They spend billions of dollars in AI training and inference but can't afford to even cite the literature properly? They're doing the bare minimum because they're inly interested in doing a PR stunt.

I’m not sure OpenAI shouldn’t have released math papers because some guy made a wager about one of the problems that loosely socially obligated him to read material about a solution to that problem.
