We’re giving scientists, mathematicians, and engineers free access to our frontier models—starting with 10,000 researchers and expanding to 100,000 through 2027. ChatGPT for Academic Researchers is built to accelerate discovery across disciplines.

Still more absolute 🔥 from Terence Tao: “We have now seen that even the rumor of someone working on a problem can trigger a massive amount of AI-powered effort to flatten it before the original research project has time to reach its full potential. The incentives may now be… Show more

tao is absolutely right here. the unintended consequence might be that researchers learn to keep their best ideas secret. why publish a promising direction if the moment someone hears about it, a company can throw 10,000 agents at it and get there first? that could fuck up… Show more

Terry Tao is probably the most measured, pro-AI mathematician on the planet - which makes this quote especially concerning to read. 😟 If sharing your hunches means getting scooped ~immediately without acknowledgement, then we're going to see not just math but all other science… Show more

The dark forest theory, where sharing many novel thought can be picked up by a GPU cluster thinking much faster than you to outrun your plans.

This is the textbook definition of a Greek gift. On the surface, OpenAI generously grants 10,000 top-tier mathematicians and elite engineers free access to their frontier models under the noble, philanthropic banner of accelerating scientific discovery, pushing the boundaries of… Show more
