@GaryMarcus Wow, and you are putting this all on OpenAI, like, as if Francois-Chollet does not share some of the blame as well?

Scandal at OpenAI, explained with an analogy:

If you studied hard for an exam, but didn’t have access to the problems and their solutions, but someone else did, would you think it is fair to compare their results and yours?

That’s what OpenAI did, in their “mindblowing”…

That really sucks. OpenAI has made a mockery of the benchmark process, and suckered a lot of people.

• Effectively OpenAI has convinced the world that they have a stellar advance based on a benchmark legit competitors can’t even try.

• They also didn’t publish which problems…

The statement is part of a discussion about transparency and fairness in AI benchmarking, specifically regarding OpenAI and FrontierMath. It clarifies that Francois was not involved in FrontierMath, addressing a potential misattribution of blame.
