Evangelos Kazakos @ekazakos.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I guess my takeaway from the maths OpenAI saga, by also taking into consideration how mathematicians respond to the situation (as everyone should), is: If it cannot reason, and therefore the humans still need to do all the verification/correction/deciphering, then tell it to shut the fuck up. 010
