⚡️🧮🤖 NEW - Terence Tao and 24 other Fields Medalists just signed a letter telling AI companies they're destroying mathematics
>headlines: AI solves famous math problems
>25 greatest mathematicians respond today
>"we are witnessing a general threat to intellectual work"
>ai labs are treating math problems like a benchmark you can brute force
>“solutions are announced in a rush, leaving no time for a proper writeup and citing relevant previous work of others"
>they're talking about openai
>"this raises severe attribution and plagiarism questions"
>they're definitely talking about openai
>openai offered to put math professor name on navier-stokes proof
>condition: abandon his coauthor bc he works at anthropic
>"the most precious resources of our profession are students and ideas"
>for the labs the most precious resource is GPUs
