This statement is one of the most important things to read, for context on how OpenAI is acting towards mathematicians in order to push a narrative and an agenda. Wildly depressing. AI culture has such contagious rot
Today, Levent Alpöge and I have made public three results: finite-time blowup with smooth forcing for incompressible porous media, for Boussinesq, and for 3d incompressible Euler.

To be clear, the bad parts here:
1. Telling someone to drop an author just because he is a competitor with your company is pressuring him to commit academic fraud!
2. Rushing to get a result after you hear someone else has a result is also messed up. That is AI "scooping" culture and goes against every academic norm that exists in reasonable fields like mathematics. This is how AI culture rots entire fields.
So many people are focusing on the training part to discredit Tristan, but that is a side detail. Pressuring someone to commit academic fraud is the kind of stuff that comes with lifetime bans in academic circles. It's horrible.
