Are there still any reasonable arguments to be mad at OpenAI at this point? Looking at how everything unfolded, this seems to have hit them way harder then they deserved.
- Stevvo 20d agoThey said they started working on millennium problems after hearing a rumor someone had found a solution to one of them. That's just bad taste. It indicates negative motivation rather than positive motivation from the start.
- pietz 20d agoNot someone. Their single competitor. During a time when they were validating their newest internal model. What would you have done? Truly, if this is the biggest criticism left, they should be celebrated. While in reality, all of this has a bitter aftertaste. So weird.
- Stevvo 20d agoThat is not the narrative given in the OpenAI announcement. They claim to have started working on it after "we heard rumors that two Millennium Prize problems had been resolved", on September 1st, that "we later realized was related to Levent Alpöge" on Sepetember 6th "After the completion of our full project and lean verification" That does stretch the reader's credulity. I think most people find it far more likely the rumor was related to Anthropic all along.
