New school year off to a stumble w/ three major higher ed AI fallacies: 1. “We must embrace it because it’s here to stay.” So are radioactive waste & heroin. 2. “MY students would never cheat.” A statement about the speaker’s ego, not their students. 3. “I can always tell.” Sure thing, Sherlock.

This sounds like I'm joking but I'm not: the idea that this much structured data could potentially get flattened into plain text feels like a major loss. (Someone should write something about web preservation vis-a-vis the history of architectural preservation)

another researcher accuses OpenAI of training on conversations and then claiming a breakthrough

Valerio Capraro @ValerioCapraro

BREAKING: OpenAl might have stolen another major proot.
In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAl may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov's soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAl later announced Astra had solved.
I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem.
If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents.
We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science.
Al is not discovering new mathematics.
Al is stealing human discovery.
