There’s an assumption that turning on Cloudflare’s “under attack” mode would mitigate the attack. Given how adaptive the rest of the attack was, I would be very curious to find out how it would approach that obstacle.

To be clear, the accusation is that they trained on the chats they used while working on the problem. Not published work or even a preprint. Your post does not distinguish, and it matters.

Almost certainly the Lean proof needs to be decoded for humans and probably also made “human intelligible”. Now maybe LLMs can also simplify arguments and make sense of them for humans, but we haven’t seen that yet (unaided). (I haven’t loo

Alternative uses for reading: 1. Facts and processes. I just want to know something. I do not care if some Nerds for Nginx article is AI written. 2. Opinions and experiences. I want to know a human is writing because emotionally engaging wi
