"how to make sure that, as AI changes the way work is done, we do not lose sight of what that work was meant to achieve in the first place."
That sounds like an "us problem", not an AI or OpenAI/Anthropic problem.

My read on this document is that people's work isn't being fairly cited more than what does it mean to be a mathematician in this age.
> Often these solutions are announced in a rush, leaving no time for a proper writeup, the isolation of new methods and ideas, and citing relevant previous work of others. As in all creative professions, this raises severe attribution and plagiarism questions.
Good thing they never did that then
We are all going to have to come to terms with entities more capable than we are, and in many cases, letting the real work be done by the AIs will be the right thing to do. For all the huffing and puffing about the "human touch" in medicine, it will eventually become downright irresponsible to consult only with a human doctor. I am not sure if this is the case in mathematics or not, but if it isn't, that suggests math will be relegated to more of a hobby than a cutting edge scientific discipline.
I don't mean to be a dick, but I've talked about it previously. These folks are grieving. I get it, I've lived through this sort of life changing thing before, it sucks... but yeah.
I am a bit disappointed by him.
Dismissing it as "innovations have happened before" is disingenuous. Yes, innovations have happened, but none of those threatened to automate all human work in existence.
Our society has functioned very differently in the past, precisely because the technology level made some things viable (or profitable) that aren't so anymore.
One would hope that, rather than abandoning technological progress, we'll rather adjust our society to it.
I mean, seriously, read what you just wrote. You're literally saying that solving scarcity is a problem because of the way our society currently functions - because people "need jobs to eat, pay for housing, etc". And you're correct! But what does it tell you about our society that robots capable of producing everything that humans might need is a problem for it?
