Maybe we should also burn books and lobotomize ourselves to make science more fun and challenging. The ego here sickens me. I don't care about your ego. I want accelerated material science, medical science, energy, better outcomes for people across the world.

I also want better outcomes for people around the world.

Memes like the permanent underclass and the massive incentive of replacing workers across the world does not bode well for a better outcome for people across the world.

There will be people benefiting from advances in these fields.

Neither you nor I will be one of them.

    Ah, so you're saying none of us will benefit from the discovery of new mathematical knowledge?

    You've just condemned funding math, even human-produced math.

    Either math is useful, in which case AI math is useful, or math is not useful, in which case we can save money by having mathematicians sell shoes or clean toilets.
