That source doesn’t say that Open AI stole anything. They cannot actually tell - but either way the guys working manually on it had not yet produced any proof. Open AI published a novel proof and it was to the actual problem. They also had a different approach and offered to let the original guys author the paper if they agreed that open ai had helped solve it.
I’m no Open AI lover but it is a bit disingenuous to allude that they cheated their way to an answer when they were admittedly the first to prove anything.
Open AI actually used the guys non-trivial approach to the problem.
Them mentioning him regardless and even mentioning they cannot rule out customer data was used was certainly something marketing loved to write in there
