Terence Tao Leads the Charge! Human Mathematicians Unite to Boycott OpenAI

What happened: Terence Tao and the Association for Human Mathematicians issued a joint statement urging mathematicians to stop cooperating with OpenAI, after OpenAI released over 700 machine-generated proof documents. Key numbers: OpenAI tested about 8,000 open math problems with a hit rate near 5 percent, at roughly 3 Why it matters: The statement says the release ignored an advisory group's warning against testing hard problems on internal models, and Tao warns of irreversible pollution as claimed solutions close off research paths. Yann LeCun disagreed, saying math is entering a new era.
