Ahead of that rollout, one mathematician told WIRED there is 'a perception of mobster behavior' from leading AI companies. The comment does not point to a single incident; it describes a broader unease about how AI labs engage with the field. OpenAI has not detailed how the solutions were verified or which problems made the list.\n\nA round number like 100 solved problems is built for headlines, not peer review. When a mathematician's gut reaction is 'mobster behavior' rather than curiosity, it signals that trust between research mathematicians and AI labs is thin, and that a splashy release from a hype-fatigued industry invites more suspicion than applause.\n\nThis is not OpenAI's first run-in with an unimpressed math community, and the reaction here suggests it will not be the last.","[\"openai\",\"ai\",\"mathematics\",\"research\"]","2026-10-06T17:28:33.000Z","2026-10-07T07:29:38.067Z","2026-10-07T07:29:42.353Z","published",null,[24,30],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Drop or substantiate the unsupported claim that 'this is not OpenAI's first clash with the math community' (no prior incident is described anywhere in the piece) and don't attribute 'a familiar pattern' to multiple mathematicians when the source quotes only one.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"Fix the lead's claim that the mathematician called it 'extortion' (the source quote is only 'mobster behavior') and make the headline singular or add another named mathematician, since the body quotes only one.","ai",[36,34,37,38],"openai","mathematics","research",[40],{"name":41,"url":42},"Wired","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.wired.com\u002Fstory\u002Fopenai-is-pissing-off-a-bunch-of-mathematicians-again\u002F",0,{"sections":45},[46,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100,105,110],{"name":47,"slug":34,"count":48,"latest_published_at":49},"AI",6369,"2026-10-07T14:12:37.000Z",{"name":51,"slug":52,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Security","security",897,"2026-10-07T19:53:42.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Policy","policy",470,"2026-10-06T19:55:11.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Deals","deals",443,"2026-10-07T23:01:39.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Hardware","hardware",220,"2026-10-07T19:59:32.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Science","science",186,"2026-10-06T21:20:39.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",173,"2026-10-07T17:41:41.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Software","software",111,"2026-10-07T17:47:14.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Startups","startups",106,"2026-10-06T20:00:30.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",105,"2026-10-07T16:59:11.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"General","general",59,"2026-10-07T21:16:18.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"Gaming","gaming",56,"2026-10-07T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":106,"slug":107,"count":108,"latest_published_at":109},"Reviews","reviews",33,"2026-10-05T11:57:17.000Z",{"name":111,"slug":112,"count":113,"latest_published_at":114},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
