      Paper of the week - OpenAI and sciene 20m

      Questions to consider in reading this paper

      1) Several of the authors work for private companies and probably own, or will own, significant # of shares in those corporations. Should they have disclosed their financial conflict of interest (in addition to their affiliations).

      2) Are the results found as “novel” as advertised. I read the first example (section 1.1) and came to the conclusion that it seemed a trivial extension of an existing theorem with a proof that one might expect at the senior or beginning grad student level.

      2 b) And, how ethical is it to state without including the resulting derivation and proof

      "We end this section by noting that our internal models, which can think for a few hours,
      were able to derive the optimal bound 1.75/L from scratch (i.e., without providing v1 of the
      paper in context, but simply asking the main question studied here directly).”

      3) It would be useful for everyone to study section 2 which goes over ways in which chatGPT can be used (and misused) for literature searches.
