I think the role of specific _human_ mathematicians at OpenAI should not be understated.

TFA was about a niche topic that OpenAI doesn't have in-house expertise in.

Otoh Aaronson is the co-author on Lijie Chen's (reasoning lead at OAI) top cited paper. OAI have deployed their resources more effectively against UGC that some of their staff are already familiar with

That's true. OpenAI has some of the best talents. In my experience, domain experts get the most benefits from the models. They can work much faster, catch false positives, and stir the model in right direction.

I wish they take a bit of more time to communicate the findings effectively.

There are good reasons not to delay publishing at all:

> They should release all their results immediately. (Imagine working on one of the problems they already solved.)

This is the most popular answer to a question regarding AI advisory group and immediate access on a popular website for professional mathematicians: https://mathoverflow.net/a/515442/473286

The whole debate regarding the behaviour of OpenAI is a red herring. Mathematics need to redefine their profession and how they work (like us software developers too). There are very good reasons to believe mathematics has an important role to play. If they could just stop talking about OpenAI and get back to work - they are very much needed, in particular now!
