Looks like OpenAI may have stolen another mathematicians work.

Screenshot of an X post by user Valerio Capraro (@ValerioCapraro) featuring text followed by an embedded photo of a man in glasses and a dark sweater against a forested outdoor background.
The post text reads:
"BREAKING: OpenAI might have stolen another major proof.
In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov's soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved.
I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem.
If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.
And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents.
We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science.
AI is not discovering new mathematics.
AI is stealing human discovery."

👩‍🔬 So, you think you don’t use chemicals? Think again. The EU chemical industry powers much of the stuff we use in daily life: from clean tech to life-saving medicines. We are rolling out a plan to support this vital sector ↓

I had the opportunity to give my perspective to The Analytical Scientist about recent events. With this article, I hope to give a voice to others who may not have the ability to speak out. #StandUpForScience theanalyticalscientist.com/business-edu...

A Bleak Future?

Recent layoffs and funding cuts have not only crippled morale among scientists, they’ve also set an alarming precedent for the future of science

Yesterday, the NIH abruptly terminated all grants focused on vaccine hesitancy. This kind of work is critical as vaccine misinformation proliferates on social media. One of my last papers showed that many people who refused the COVID19 booster did so because they had incorrect information.
