> Also, a number of the mathematicians who worked on FrontierMath would possibly have not contributed to this if they knew about the funding and exclusive access. It feels concerning that OpenAI could have inadvertently paid people to contribute to capabilities when they might not have wanted to.<p>This is odd. The issue isn't o3's "capabilities" or AINotKillEveryoneism, it's the spreading corrosion of OpenAI's dishonest marketing. Presumably those contributors thought they were making a good benchmark. Instead they got misled into making an infomercial.<p>This specifically hurts Terence Tao, because it raises the question about whether or not <i>he</i> knew that OpenAI had privileged access. Epoch and OpenAI tarnished his reputation in order to improve o3's reputation. Truly despicable.
