Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Powerful statement from mathematicians around the world. “We urge mathematicians to discontinue their work with OpenAI and to return to a vision of science that centers human understanding.” The backlash to AI is only just beginning. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/10/07/a... 6426162
Matthew van Eerde @m-vaneerde.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Mathematician here. These are wacko mathematicians; don't listen to them. Most mathematicians I know are very excited about AI's ability to solve difficult problems, and have been since Haken and Appel solved the Four Color Theorem in the 1970s 100
Kan @ailerons.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yeah why wouldn't they love something that can just lie and make things up? mathematicians that prefer reliable tools that always give the same result are stuck with the lowly peasant calculator 100
