It's hilarious how a the trillions invested in AI companies, and their valuations are predicated on the AI labs Sherlocking entire industries, and yet CEOs, mathematicians, and everyone else are eagerly feeding the beast their most prized information.
Let's not forget the time Anthropic and OpenAI stole some mathematician's research because they were vibe researching the problem and Altman and Amodei thought it would be nice to claim the prize as their own
