OpenAI 可能又窃取了一项重大数学证明

Valerio Capraro: BREAKING: OpenAI might have stolen another major proof. In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov’s soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved.

Valerio Capraro：突发：OpenAI 可能又窃取了一项重大数学证明。在 Mastodon 的一篇详细帖子中（我已在评论区完整转载），Andreas Thom 提供了多项证据，表明 OpenAI 可能利用了他与 Gábor Kun 讨论 Gromov 索菲性猜想（Gromov’s soficity conjecture）的对话记录来训练 Astra。而该猜想正是 OpenAI 后来宣称 Astra 已解决的十大难题之一。

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.

我认识 Andreas。我们职业生涯早期曾多次见面。他是一位杰出的数学家，是索菲群（sofic groups）和超线性群（hyperlinear groups）领域的顶尖专家，也是该领域最受尊敬的学者之一。他已经在这一问题上钻研了二十年。

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 It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.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. AI is not discovering new mathematics. AI is stealing human discovery.

如果他的说法属实，这就不再仅仅是关于署名权的微小争议了。这意味着人类未发表的研究成果被模型吸收，随后被该模型包装成自己的突破性成果呈现给世界。如果 Levent Alpöge、Tristan Buckmaster 以及现在的 Andreas Thom 所提出的指控全部得到证实，那么这就不再是孤立的事件。我们可能正在目睹科学史上最大的知识产权丑闻之一。人工智能并没有在发现新的数学成果，它是在窃取人类的发现。

Skip Rhudy: It’s also fraud to trick people into investing in open AI under false representation of product capability. Defrauding investors of their money by making false claims has recently landed other CEOs in federal prisons.

Skip Rhudy：通过虚假陈述产品能力来诱骗人们投资 OpenAI 也属于欺诈行为。通过虚假声明骗取投资者资金的行为，最近已经让其他公司的首席执行官们锒铛入狱。
