MTS(@MTSlive):.@wordgrammer on why math isn't a scarce resource, and why art might be: "Math is a very powerful cultural institution. It is sacred. We care about it, not necessarily because it leads to useful outcomes, but because it is beautiful." "You stop viewing math as a competition, and you start viewing math as an unlimited resource towards which humans and AI can work together forever. Math is inexhaustible. There are an infinite number of true statements about the world." "Competing over math as if it was a scarce resource, I think is a little bit of a silly thing to do. Art, I think, is maybe not so infinite, 'cause there's a finite amount of attention that humans have."
