Comment on OpenAI fought dirty on career-making math problem

Comments

Who is "Bubeck"? The article doesn't introduce him. Or give his name. Same with "Luis" and "Diego".

I am supposing it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9bastien_Bubeck

This is terrible:

When Buckmaster pushed to make the dispute public, he says that Bubeck replied: “Why would you ruin your career?” Buckmaster says that when he pushed back, Bubeck followed up with: “If you don’t want me to be nice, then I don’t have to be nice.”

Given that he has other former collaborators corroborating this horrific behavior, it seems like this a career spanning pattern, and it's interesting to see just how much @sama is willing to lend his support to someone like Bubeck.

Stains an important moment in the history of AI progress for me. The future seems bleak with people like this at the reins.

The report pdf confirms Sebastian was the Bubeck in question
