I doubt it would be seen as scandal. They can simply generate training data for these questions just like how they generate for other problems. Only difference is probably pay rate is much higher for this kind training data than most other areas.

You’re not thinking about the other side of the equation. If they win (becoming the first to excel at the benchmark), they potentially make billions. If they lose, they’ll be relegated to the dustbin of LLM history. Since there is an existential threat to the brand, there is almost nothing that isn’t worth risking to win. Risking a scandal to avoid irrelevance is an easy asymmetrical bet. Of course they would take the risk.

Parallel construction

Doesnt cause too much scandal lol
