> Not take credit for and independently solve these problems and instead sponsor researchers and give them credit. They could chose to include humans and frame AI as elevating human systems. Instead they are reveling in the fact that they did this in their own instead of humans.
How do you know humans played the part that you think they did in this result? What evidence do you have to challenge their framing?
They are going for super intelligence, humans not necessary.
On one hand I don’t want to be replaced by an AI so I hate that this is happening. I don’t want AI to be controlled by the elites to enrich themselves further.
But on the other hand super intelligence will open doors for humanity. Maybe we will finally defeat cancer or death itself.
The first paper solved used a novel method that a small academic team had developed in chat sessions with both anthropic and openAI. One allegation is that anthropic started working on that problem and openAI got word and worked on it as well. They then deployed over $10m of internal token spend to solve it. When the researchers confronted openAI about their use of the same novel method they had explored which seemed an implausible coincidence, openAI couldn’t deny the private chats had entered the training data for the model. What’s it called when an employee gets hired at a competitor to exfiltrate proprietary data or methods? It’s called corporate espionage and theft. Why is it ok for an LLM to intercept and integrate private messages and the conceptual messages?
The fact that this history will be quickly forgotten by the public shows why the incentives of the Labs to behave unfairly is too great.
