@LiorOnAI@ylecun@ylecun is really a boss, he called it "Le World Model" and not "Un World Model".
It's like going to the Ritz an ordering un croque monsieur, on the menu it will be "Le Croque Monsieur"
BREAKING: OpenAI might have stolen another major proof.
In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov’s soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved.
I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem.
If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.
And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents.
We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science.
AI is not discovering new mathematics.
AI is stealing human discovery.

CancerBench: the frontier model cancer cure benchmark.
AI lab CEOs keep talking about curing cancer, so I made a benchmark.
One metric: how many types of cancer has your model cured?
All models are currently tied at zero.
It’s time to hillclimb!

New on the geometry of motor control, introducing a dynamical systems view of motor cortex 🦾🧠
https://t.co/Eps6X1XIgv
Seconds before a planned movement, motor cortex can already contain activity specific to that movement.
This is the same circuit that will soon generate the commands sent to your muscles.
So what is that preparatory activity doing? And why doesn't it spill out into motion?
