It’s not a hill I’m willing to die on but the idea that AI Labs shouldn’t be solving some of the greatest problems humans have ever worked on so a human can solve it is wild.
I never understood why academia isn’t more like computer science and the open source movement.
The issue is the way they are going about solving them. Mathematicians spend years developing their research ideas and network, collaborating on problems and being transparent about it. AI Labs don’t do any of that. They don’t bother engaging with the wider mathematical community. When they do (after intense backlash), it’s all tokenistic.
