   The first field field has fallen to AI.

   I wasn't convinced until the mathematics community started responding, openly, with severe distress.

   What will be next?

      What if I told you that... Most math research was useless anyway. AI is going to expose a lot of grift.

         Most research isn't useful. Research on average is extremely useful. Great ideas are rare, and we don't know in advance where they are.

         If you do know, let me know and I'll lead a round for your VC fund. I for one would never have predicted that abstract topology would lead to nuclear weapons within a few generations.
