   I think the answer to this is simple: Mathematicians don’t own math. Math is a tool to do useful things. I don’t want this gatekept by people who have a sense of entitlement. And luckily enough, they don’t have any leverage, so the appropriate response is to say no.

      Math is not merely a tool. The question isn't one of doing the math, it's about publication and release of work. Humans have to follow certain rules, so why should we allow AI labs to behave differently?

         Anyone can publish what they want. There’s nothing else to say about it, however anyone may try to pretend otherwise.

            Really? What about plagiarism? Have you looked into the Navier-Stokes proof? It gets very murky.

               Is plagiarism actually illegal? This is primarily an ethical, academic or professional violation.

                  Were we discussing legality?
