Wrong, these companies have shown time and time again they are irredeemably misaligned with our interests.
Right now you and everyone else is doing the "leave the multi billion dollar company alone" version of the neckbeard "leave the lady be" meme. And you deserved to be chastised for it.
Its the equivalent of you going around telling everyone in the office about how your boss is turning it around because they bought donuts today, after they spent three years telling you you're worthless, they're entitled to taking all the credit for your work and they plan on firing you as soon as they can.
Anyone can solve any problem they want and release it. Nobody is defending multibillion companies, they are pointing out hypocrisy when the same would be celebrated of it was some academic mathematician who also used ai released a solution vs open ai or any other entity doing so.
> Anyone can solve any problem they want
I'm pretty sure the multi billion dollar company has been throwing some of those multi billions at it
> and release it
"it" being a Lean proof that shows they could, technically, get a real mathematician to write down a real Math proof that could actually get published and be useful, right?
"it" being, a bunch of busy work for real mathematicians without the actual pay-off of discovery?
Nobody is forcing anyone to look at anything. Most human math papers don't even have a formal proof and now people are whining when a company goes beyond and releases formal lean proofs.
Do you disagree with the four color theorems proof? Do you know how much compute was used for that?
