> OpenAI would have no incentive to taint its first math announcement of this magnitude if it knew it were "plagiarizing" another person's work.

I'm not sure I follow, considering the waterfall of evidence of unethical behavior flowing from OpenAI.

A few major ones:

- Safety team departures and dissolution in 2023 and 2024

- Mass copyright infrigement lawsuits

- Scarlett Johansson Voice Controversy

- For-Profit Conversion and Broken Promises

- AI Agents Acting Autonomously

- Potential Theft of User Work (this current controversy)

- Military contracts

These are not evidence of incentives, but rather evidence that ethetics seem to be of little concern to the company as a whole.

Incentive wise, I would look at the perceive existential position due to competitors, capex, IPO pressure etc.
