If frontier labs had chosen to go the path of offering to assist in existing endeavors, helping to build knowledge alongside researchers in ongoing projects and following ethical and professional research standards, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all; everyone would be stoked. Instead we have companies that disgracefully try to scoop researchers and fail to properly attribute earlier work and instead rebrand it as their own (what we normally call plagiarism) to make marketing material.
This sort of nonsense makes me root for the AI companies to set the edifice of organized math on fire.
