If AI discovers a cure for cancer tomorrow, I couldn’t care less whether it puts thousands of researchers out of work.
Imagine telling millions of patients they have to keep suffering because some people need to feel useful.
Your career isn’t more important than human lives. Get over yourself.
"The invention of the boat reduced the importance of swimming, but enabled the discovery of new lands."
Beautiful analogy from @ylecun about the opportunities and changes with AI, in mathematics and in science more broadly.
So, to summarize, 900 mathematicians signed a letter basically saying "stop AI from doing math so that our jobs can stick around."
But for anyone who spends more than 5 seconds thinking about what unlocking the equivalent of a billion Fields Medalists would do for humanity, the benefits dramatically outweigh the costs.
Math abundance will help solve chips, medicine, fusion, and numerous other things that will improve the lives of billions, and save millions of lives.
I mean, there was a 0% chance of OpenAI (or any other AI lab) slowing down, so it's a moot point anyways.
But it just seems extremely selfish.
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

Global reset landing tomorrow 10am PST for all paid ChatGPT accounts. Apologies for the slow start with GPT-6.1 Sol, it's now back to running at expected speeds after the massive load spike in the first two days.
Introducing Gemini 4 Argon – our new frontier model.
It’s built for complex workflows across coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense – rolling out today to a set of trusted testers through our Fairwind Program.
What Europe misses from DevDay's launch:
- dots on Pro: no EEA rollout
- ChatGPT Sites: no EEA launch for the public beta or public publishing
You're welcome. Thanks, EU.
Can we get a discount in Europe for each feature not shipped in our area? We can't be paying the same full subscription than other countries and getting less, @sama@thsottiaux. It's not discrimination, we get that our regulations are trickier. But we're still paying for everything we're not getting.
@thsottiaux Good moment to pass to Claude then, I’d never expect this stab from OpenAI. I was expecting to get more and more usage with models that cost less and less, instead I am getting the same amount of usage, it’s not important how much the model will cost. I will not renew.
