@__paleologo The boomer cope from these guys is insane.. they destroyed their profession way before AI, turning a once proud field into one where every little flee has a google scholar profile, all their papers coauthored, the signature mark of the bad mathematician.
@Quasilocal Buckmaster took someone else's program and put it through AI in an attempt to get credit himself. Bully got bullied by an even bigger bully.
@nihilunbounded I think it's just going to be more of the same: # papers + journal name. This is is easy and lazy, hence what happens: it's very difficult to form a sensible opinion about work which falls outside your expertise. Ppl are extremely specialised.
@RexDouglass Not sure why you (as an outsider) feel so strongly about this. That being said, as a "scientist type" mathematician myself, it seems to me that Tao knows he is a has-been who used to solve good problems and now just talks and talks. Math = young man's game.
@r0manr0ad Grothendieck+Serre laid the foundations for a golden period in AG & related fields. The reason why AG is superior to most other fields is because the foundations are rock solid. Most linear algebra books are 400 pages, why complain about EGA lol.
@BacekJubil86068@nihilunbounded Which posts do you disagree with most? I am not here to find an echo chamber, I like it when people challenge my views.
