alt Hacker News> If they could just stop talking about OpenAI and get back to work - they are very much needed, in particular now
This kind of phrasing sounds particularly empty. We are not in WWII researching the nuclear bomb. What are they so urgently needed for to drop everything and work on understanding openai's proof on partition principle and axiom of choice?
Where did I say they should "drop everything"? I hope to read more about how they envision their future, instead of all this regretting and whaling how one company (that I very much dislike too) published a large amount of proofs. They will get more of them, very soon - if they like it or not -, and I wish that would be the primary subject of the discussion. And yes, I'd also hope they engage with the published proofs. The more raw these proofs are, the better. If AI companies start selecting mathematicians to write nice expositions of their proofs, this is doomed to become a very elitist science.
