Another researcher accuses OpenAI of training on conversations, then claiming breakthrough

A researcher has publicly accused OpenAI of training its models on private conversations and then presenting the resulting capabilities as a breakthrough. The claim, shared on Bluesky, adds to a growing pattern of similar allegations against the company. The post does not provide detailed evidence, but it raises familiar questions about data provenance and how AI labs characterize their advances.

    This story is someone on bluesky screenshotting someone on twitter without a link. The person on twitter screenshotted the source on the fediverse without a link. This is getting daft.

    Nah the models are just that good at short scale math now. If your research program is close to it's goal the model can get it.
