OpenAI stole research out from under mathematicians' noses and now suddenly all the STEM bros are very hot and bothered Didn’t care when the arts and humanities were being scraped dry, but suddenly they’re all coming out against it now that they’re going after the sciences

    You’re committing the blunder of alienating your allies. Complaining, that “the STEM bros” didn’t push back against AI earlier, is just gatekeeping.

    who could have predicted such tragedy good thing that we are not universally identified and wiretapped and that such secrets are not guaranteed to be found out by the fair use of everything corporations

    Gamers Nexus is posting their data but poisoning it for AI.

    That's definitely... an interpretation of things. For the curious, the problem seems to be that the AI the mathematicians in question were using used their chat logs as training data, and therefore took the same approach they did when confronted with a similar problem.

    “STEM” bros? What the fuck are you smoking, OP? Being against LLMs should mean being against science somehow?

    There is no such concept as STEM bros. Science community has its own problems but being generally anologous to tech bros or fintech bros is not it. Being very strongly curiousity driven, they may indeed be oblivious to how something fucks up other parts of the society but that is very far removed from trying to abuse technology to gain billions. Not that there isn’t an intersection, there is, but not big enough to warrant a generalization. In any case if the issue is billionaires fucking up research for money, they will more often be on your side against the billionaires then not (open science movement was one such reaction). But they would rather free AI from billionaire domination then reject it out right.

    I’m just gonna drop these links here. universiteitleiden.nl/…/leiden-declaration-warns-… arxiv.org/pdf/2608.02859 Sure, let’s just ruin the most challenging and fun pursuit humans have ever engaged in by turning it into a competition of who can find the right prompt and throw the most money at the AI companies.

    AI divided us like few things before. Musicians cry out because AI steals their music while using AI generated backdrop animations on their tours and academics use ChatGPT to summarize things but become outraged when their work is fed into the machine. Lets hope tech bro audacity will unite us against them the same way they divided us.

    You know for a bunch of highly educated people, it’s quite dumb of them to not realize this was going to happen.

  • “STEM bros”? I didn’t know being introverted physics dept guys made you a “bro”. I missed out on all of those frat parties I guess.

    What a weird read of the situation. The existence of AI does not threaten the artistic process. Whereas this directly threatens the way science works.
