"Releasing over 700 files at once is not a demonstration of scholarship, but a demonstration of power. We urge mathematicians to discontinue their work with OpenAI and to return to a vision of science that centers human understanding." www.ahmath.org/statements
AHM Statement on OpenAI’s October 6 Release of Mathematical Documents

Yesterday, on October 6th, 2026, OpenAI – which is currently defending lawsuits against accusations of illegal plagiarism, copyright infringement, and trademark dilution – released a repository of manuscripts purporting to contain solutions to a number of high-profile problems in mathematics.

Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done. The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, from whom OpenAI has claimed to derive its legitimacy, opened their initial advisory statement by saying that frontier AI corporations should not test advanced mathematical problems on internal models. In ignoring the central premise of the Advisory Group’s position, OpenAI has indicated total disregard for the norms of scientific research — norms that guarantee that mathematics remains trustworthy, ethically researched, and in the public interest.

Mathematicians have a particular vision of progress that is informed by history and field-specific considerations. We reject OpenAI's assertion that this release advances our subject, and we urge mathematicians and the public to view the value of this publication model with due skepticism. 

Releasing over 700 files at once is not a demonstration of scholarship, but a demonstration of power. We urge mathematicians to discontinue their work with OpenAI and to return to a vision of science that centers human understanding.

‘We should all be worried’: calls grow to limit London rollout of robotaxis
Protest planned at Wayve HQ as Uber drivers fear for their future and city’s politicians demand TfL should have power over licences For passengers in Britain who want to try the latest ride, robotaxis are eagerly awaited: more than 100,000 are on Uber’s waitlist in London after the first UK services started in September. Others view them with trepidation. “I think we should all be worried,” said Florentina Ghiuzan, an Uber driver from Essex. “I was shocked TfL approved it so soon. I knew change would come. But I thought it would come with a solution for us.” Continue reading...

With inflation surging to 0.6% in September, let's review the Donald's inflation track record. Headline CPI, the main gauge of inflation, has doubled on his watch:

CPI isn't a big deal unless you're one of those rare people who purchases medical care, vehicles, computers/software, or toys. Might also be a problem for people who earn money instead of already having money, but those people should really try having money instead.
By Chris Anstey, Senior Editor

Thanks for joining us today. Here are key takeaways from the September CPI report:
The headline CPI jumped by 0.6% compared with August, as expected by economists, and 3.7% on a year-on-year basis, marking an acceleration from 3.4% the previous month. More than half the monthly increase came from gasoline, which soared 9.1%.
The core CPI, stripping out food and energy, rose 0.3% on the month, more than all but 11 of the 73 economists in Bloomberg’s survey had anticipated. The annual rate accelerated to 2.6%, the fastest pace since June. Increases were broad based, including recreation and used vehicles, airfares and medical care.
Outsize gains in some categories pointed to evidence of both the AI effect and impact from tariffs. On a year-on-year basis, computers and software prices saw record increases, at 9.7% and 28.4% respectively. Toys, up an annual 6.6%, jumped the most since 1988.
Inflation continues to wallop workers. Today’s numbers mean real average hourly earnings contracted by 0.7% last month, the most since May. Real earnings have been shrinking for six straight months now, the longest string since the 2021-23 cost-of-living surge.
The odds of an interest-rate hike by the Federal Reserve in two weeks soared after the release, with Treasuries plunging, stocks sliding and the dollar rising. Two-year yields were up about 12 basis points as of 9:32 a.m. in New York, the S&P 500 opened down 0.4% and the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index hit its highest since May 2025.
