๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Seems like another Mathematician comes forward with concerns about OpenAI stealing unpublished math research and then publishing it as AI solve under big publicity. Andreas Thom and Gรกbor Kun worked on Gromovโ€™s soficity conjecture. (See his thread with alt-text) mstdn.science/@andreasthom...

1/3 I want to record a number of points that I realized after reading up on the controversy. In fact it recalls an exchange I had with OpenAI after its non-sofic-group announcement. It exposes a serious, unanswered question about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished mathematics. I wrote in an email to Mark Sellke and Sebastien Bubeck shortly after the surprising finding of a non-sofic group using the methods of Kun and myself: โ€œAnother point is that I and a colleague in Dresden were discussing the expander matching problem and various extensions of the work with Gabor Kun actively over the last months with ChatGPT, so that we are of course curious if that was part of the training data or accessible to the reasoning process. There is a certain (frankly unacceptable) lack of transparency here; and I fear it will damage the communal process of math more than the new AI-generated results will benefit the subject.โ€ Mark Sellkeโ€™s complete answer was: โ€œRegarding your conversations with ChatGPT: that did not happen.โ€ I had explicitly asked about two different things: (1) whether our conversations entered training data, and (2) whether they were accessible to the solving process. The categorical answer now looks as though it addressed only direct access under (2). No such qualification, explanation, or evidence was given. I take this as dishonesty to say the least. OpenAI now says in the Buckmaster-Alpรถge case that no specific user data was accessed, but adds that it โ€œcannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models.โ€

Medicare isn't some handout American seniors PAID for it-through years of hard work Jesus, is it possible for Republicans to hate Americans any more than they suggest do

Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate John Sununu says he supports a work requirement for seniors on Medicare: "I certainly support a work requirement for able-bodied Medicare recipients."

Anthropic Is building a surveillance system to monitor activists using a โ€œpre-crimeโ€ approach that tries to predict incidents before they happen. The extensive monitoring system that the AI company is building is aimed primarily at keeping tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of AI.

Silicon Valley is very much not just founders and investors. When it comes to innovation those are often the least important people. Even just focus on the tech industry, results come from the employees with hands-on skills who do the actual, "hands dirty" work.

Remember when Hillary Clinton told a story about landing in Bosnia "under sniper fire" when actually it was just a war zone but there was no record of direct fire and the media made it into a multiple-week scandal? Only Republicans are allowed to flagrantly & repeatedly lie.

HOW hot did it get today in the Bay Area?! Downtown SF was in the mid to upper 90s, and Santa Cruz reached 100ยฐ for the first time in nearly 10 years๐Ÿฅต Napa reached 102ยฐ, with 100+ for many of our North/East Bay locations. Tomorrow will still be hot, but not as hot, before cooling down this weekend.
