Thom's numbered 2/3 post replying in the Buckmaster discussion

Thom describes his own interactions involving unpublished mathematical research and challenges the transparency of OpenAI's data-use explanations. His ethical concern is conditional on nonpublic user research having been used; this post does not establish that such use or theft occurred in the Buckmaster dispute. Thom is the author, not another mathematician who reposted the thread.
