The AI news cycle is tightening.

Every four months or so a better-faster-greater AI model is revealed.

Every few weeks or so we learn about another problem that AI solved. The reports usually mention how AI solved it in a “days”, while humanity couldn’t for decades or even centuries. This also applies to finding software bugs and vulnerabilities.

In the field of mathematics, there are concerns that “AI is mining” the limited number of interesting problems, making it harder for early-career mathematicians to advance.
