To quote Noam Brown, "Our main focus is shipping great models so everyone can use them to make discoveries of their own" [1]. Spending 15 million dollars of compute with an internal model to blitz and scoop a resolution of Navier-Stokes that someone is already on track to resolve (or, from my understanding of why OpenAI did this, had already resolved, as staff at OpenAI stated their attempt was prompted by rumors of a resolution by Anthropic) is in complete opposition to this stated claim. That act is what this portion of the recommendation is in response to: OpenAI perpetually holding out internal models and tooling, using them to solve important problems in math, and thus themselves holding a monopoly on certain aspects of mathematics. Why is it absurd to ask people who are in a position to do an obviously damaging act to not do so, especially when those same people were the ones who asked for your advice in the first place and claimed to not want to do said act previously?
