Doing some research and at this point doing it very much in the open with dates on GitHub so if any AI Lab says they re-discover my exact work it will be obvious that the AI used or was trained on my work. I am guessing anyone in a similar situation is now thinking about how they date their existing work if the math is done, but the proses are not.
Yeah but that will not prevent the stealing, it will only make the fight easier afterwards.
Does it make sense to start privately and then open the repo after publication? Will the dates be retained? Also, isn't commit history easy to spoof?
That is what arxiv is about. We have been facing the same problem with review processes by before. Nothing all too specific here.
At least in my experience, the issue with ArXiv is that the expectation is that the draft should be already in a good enough state. And polishing plus writing the meat around the main result can take a lot of time
If only prompts could also be watermarked.
The session data could be cryptographically signed. Probably easier in an open harness?
