It sounds like you think no technological advances will make the world richer in the long run. I politely suggest that the past century of economic growth shows problems with this argument. I also think that, while jobs are important for prosperity, the jobs of mathematicians are a minuscule fraction of a percent of the total.
- MinimalAction 2mo agoSo, you're arguing that just because mathematicians are a minuscule, it doesn't matter for prosperity? Because, if so, that is an insane take honestly.
- dash2 2mo agoReally? "The benefit to all of humanity from advances in mathematics outweighs the lost jobs of research mathematicians". That's an insane take?
- MinimalAction 2mo agoIt is the very humanity that is absent in all of this. The power is still in the hands of a very few. I feel you're dismissing this with a grandeur vision of AI developement.
