    What is the economy of jobs based on people (ex. mathematicians) having fun? What is the incentive of tax payers, universities or companies to hire some people to have "fun"? (Assuming AI will absolutely be better than mathematicians in all relevant aspects. Not obvious to me.)

    Not AI data centres, but yeah, close enough! The Terminator 2 is one of my most favourite movies of all time. Its impact on me back in 1991 was tremendous and life-changing!
