How is that a "tin-foil-hat" take? It's not a secret, and in fact widely reported, that these companies are spending billions on creating training data.

- dmix 5mo agoSo you think that OpenAI paid some mathematicians to either solve this conjecture problem, or a bunch of related unpublished math related to it, then fed it into an LLM model so they could announce it as being solved by the model? How is that not a conspiracy theory?
- mrdependable 5mo agoIt is just a theory, the conspiracy part is not really applicable. I don't see what is controversial about it. Are you implying the machine taught itself the mathematics to do all this?
- dmix 5mo ago> Are you implying the machine taught itself the mathematics to do all this? Are you asking me how LLMs work? The theory proposed by the original commenter was that there could have been some secret training data the model was trained on that made it possible to solve this problem set. So the only conclusion is they are implying it's a conspiracy by OpenAI to hide some novel math research they funded merely to do marketing about solving math problems (then convincing multiple math experts to verify and support it with papers). That is the definition of a conspiracy.
- Rover222 5mo agoIt's a classic paranoid conspiracy theory, IMO
