@nprofile1q... applicable to too many sectors I suppose

Like I would have thought someone would go to prison or something but no, its been redirected to "model capabilities" and the press is talking about "rogue" models and such, not what OpenAI just did.

Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in branding and marketing. Lol and branding what happened as OpenAI now working to "help calibrate on what models are now capable of" is top notch propaganda skills.

And "Also consider whether non-proprietary, energy-efficient, or small-scale systems suffice for your task. If not, consider how preservation of the values articulated in this Declaration may be worth a delay in obtaining results."

"The increasing involvement of technology companies in mathematical research raises the risk that research questions may come to be prioritized because of their amenability to automated mathematics, rather than expert judgment of their deeper significance"

Also, recommendations like:

"Some automated tools and their developers will align with the provisions of this Declaration, while others will not. Consider this when deciding which tools to use, or whether to use them at all."

In many cases this leads to simplifications in reporting, such as overemphasizing the significance of automated tools and undervaluing the prior human contributions which have made those tools possible. Such oversimplification risks influencing public opinion in a way that not only damages perceptions of mathematics, but also misleadingly uses specific mathematical tasks as metrics for the general reasoning capacities of commercial products.”

“Proper evaluation is endangered if results are communicated through informal channels such as press releases or blog posts, often without any research paper or other disclosure of information necessary for scientific evaluation. This practice seeks publicity for new results on market timelines before the accepted processes of community evaluation in mathematics can take place....

➡️“Technologies which affect the way in which mathematics is practiced may disturb the current system of incentives. The use of artificial intelligence — and thus also the sort of problems which it can address — may become incentivized for its own sake, disrupting our mechanisms for hiring, funding, and recognition.”
