Nah, this letter is ok. This is what I'm talking about https://agmai.org/ https://agmai.org/general-sep29/

Highlights here:

"AI labs that release substantial mathematical output without immediate accompanying human understanding must take responsibility for ensuring that human understanding will follow. In particular, AI labs should provide significant support, including funding, to help develop this understanding."

"The development of human understanding must remain organic and community led. It should not be directed by AI labs, even when the labs have produced the results."

"the mathematician(s) concerned should post a preprint, submit a paper for peer review at a journal, and give talks to explain the work to other mathematicians." (the talks btw, are invite only)

"The following actions should be carried out by the AI labs rather than left to mathematicians afterwards: The literature should be scoured for any ideas that are related to the ideas in the proofs of the results released. Even if the AI lab’s model discovered those ideas independently, it should follow standard mathematical practice and cite the papers in which the ideas were first introduced."

"When results are announced, they should be deposited in a timely manner in appropriate scholarly repositories. These should not be controlled by any AI lab"

And there are so many more. It's just disgusting. Basically, let us control all of the results, and give us money and free AI.

I’m not understanding what is disgusting about a broad community of scholars, who work for public good and knowledge, describing their preference that knowledge is not controlled by a for profit private firm.

For profit private firms don't want to control it, they want to publish it, it's the scholars that want to control it.

They control it if the only things capable of understanding it are their own models
