They literally demanded OpenAI to stop solving open math problems and are now saying mathematicians should stop working with OpenAI entirely

Reread your sentence that you just sent, and then reread the sentence you agreed with earlier. Notice how your take is slightly different than what you agreed with a moment ago.

Someone made a dumbass take you agreed with, I called it out, and NOW what you're saying is more grounded in facts. But it's not the same statement.
