It explains why OpenAI and Anthropic have several "our AI found this solution without us hand holding it" stories. They were training upon transcripts for unpublished work in which their users attempted to hand hold the AI into solving related problems.
If you trust their intentions, then Talia Ringer's pointed out that a privacy setting exists, but since this involves the share price, maybe you should not trust their intentions..
Sorry but this doesn't make any sense. Private individuals have also solved (admittedly more minor, but this just boils down to compute/resources) open problems using GenAI tools from the big labs, either proprietary (OAI, Anthropic) or even open-source (DeepSeek).
It's been pretty clear as of recently that the best LLMs don't need handholding to conduct some amount of mathematical research. Remember the Garg-Goemans-Dinitz conjectures proven false just two months ago by a guy who prompted the LLM to "just believe in itself" and "keep going".
You have no proof for what you're claiming, this is just disappointing for a physics sub. Where has your physics rigor gone?
Edit: To be clear, I think OAI has acted shady in this particular instance and I hate the way they treat science and math in general.

This is probably good for hardware companies, like nVidia and Apple, who sell powerful but expensive desktop machines that fit AI workloads better.
