darrennn(@genzzztrade):Tarun says AI will make math research like becoming a monk "Everyone I know in academia is very depressed. Your career hierarchy was determined on trying to solve these problems. But now it's like, actually just have more compute." "My guess is math will turn into a place like a lot of humanities where there's a very small number of tenured professors. 90% of people are just teaching calculus to pre-med morons." "Math research isn't going away. I think the bar goes up so much that it's just going to be like being a monk." "I agree with the Peter Thiel thing. Wordcels are going to be more successful in the next century than STEMcels."
