It feels like the scene from Blazing Saddles where Mel Brooks' character says "We've got to protect our phony-baloney jobs, gentlemen."

If the math community was previously not entirely aligned with what society was expecting, and these changes threaten that previous arrangement, that sounds like a "you" problem for math, not a problem for OpenAI.

If they can't align with society's needs and demands then some creative destruction is coming their way.

Well said. It’s on them to adapt. They make it look like it’s society’s problem (which it is) but also put the ball on OpenAI’s court which it shouldn’t.

Next time you devote 20 years to developing the skills to further humanity only for an unethical group of people to replace you with a stolen version of your work let’s talk.
