That's an analogy among many others, but the point is that OpenAI should use their tools responsibly. If they have 700 potential ground-breaking but unproven results, they should share it in a way that they do not get free (possibly unwarranted) publicity for it.
Whom? Did they create their own board of mathematicians that would agree with them? See below Terence Tao's blog, sharing a statement from the Association for Human Mathematics.

If your AI tool can help advance mathematical research, share the tool with mathematicians. Using it like this is irresponsible.
"AI will kill us all": no. Greedy humans will kill us all. With AI.
Exactly. AI safety should be about the packaging software itself. Those AI breakouts should really be about their companies acting recklessly because they're trying to be the top players.
It's like a weapons dealer working on an open air market saying they can't do anything better
Or, once billions of people die from climate change, planetary wars will start on the last hospitable areas, leading to the end of humanity.
In contrast, AI ending "humanity" is limited by our own material power, would likely be stoppable, and would not easily reach areas isolated from technology
Reminder that the USA are the country that historically burned the most fossil fuels, the world's largest extractor of oil, the only country trying to do a 180 on coal power.
Half of the world has experienced unprecedented heatwaves that will become the norm in 2050.
Stop burning fossil fuels.
People who truly care about becoming rich*
DeepMind made enormous transformative discoveries, for instance in the world of protein folding. But that will just save human lives, not let CEOs fire their people to grab a larger piece of cake for themselves.
Just like every Android device or computer in your household? Are you trying to make a point for cloud computing?
The money would be so much better spent that way as well, supporting individual programmers.

And sometimes that someone can be you, and AI is notoriously bad at telling you that you're wrong (because it has to please people)
I also had a better experience with Stack Overflow over AI. It's been unable to tell me that I couldn't assign a new value to my std::optional in my specific case, and kept hallucinating copy constructor rules. A Stack Overflow question matching my problem cleared that up for me.
Sometimes you need someone to tell you no.
I already told you 2 things, coastal areas and agriculture.
This is Bangladesh elevation map. Bangladesh is amonng the most dense countries in the world, and also among the poorest.

People are gonna lose their homes and starve to death, this will create massive refugee crises. They won't care if you have micro plastics in your testicles
GHG are a matter of life or death for hundreds of millions living in poverty in coastal areas or living from their own agriculture.
Of course you live in a 1st world country and it likely won't kill you, just cost you tons of money
It's not about "take better care of the planet", whatever you think that means
Also if you're encoding the king as a position instead of a byte sequence you would have to encode their space as empty, that's an extra 2 bits
You have a business trip and need to go from A to B by yourself? Take a train, it frees your brain and the highway for people traveling in groups or with lots of luggage.
Incidentally it also avoids moving 2 tonnes of material for no reason.
The "C/C++" extension github repository is 4MB. Probably the download size for the extension itself is a fraction of that, but I won't bother measuring. It was downloaded 400 times over the last minute (there is a live counter on the extension page [0]).

That's a 25MB/s or 200Mb/s bandwidth, for one of the most popular extensions. Multiply by the top 10 extensions and you get the bandwidth of an average home optic fiber connection...
