Tony Fauci shouldn’t have spoken on behalf of science. He didn’t speak for Virology. Nor did Collins/Daszak.
String Theorists & Quantum Gravity Theorists don’t speak for Physics.
MORAL: The leaders of a field do *NOT* generally represent that field when the field is unhealthy.
"I’m told that the AI companies, having been burned by the hostile response to the Navier-Stokes proof, are now sitting on solutions to some very major problems until they figure out a better way to handle things"

Let me give a simple way to split the mathematics/physics communities now wrestling with AI.
If top people (medalists) representing the math/physics community are telling you that seeing our students thrive is of paramount importance, they are *provably* in denial or delusional.
Did you not see "Fields Medal" l after the names of the many signees? That counts for something. I would say they have absolutely won the right to speak out in representation of a large majority of the mathematics community.
I'll start: who is part of this so-called 'Mathematical Community'?
Am I? Because anyone following me knows I've been WARNING about this kind of unwanted priesthood HOLDING BACK the Mathematics Community by pretending to speak for us all.
And I'll be inviting the AI savages in.
BREAKING: Terence Tao and 24 other Fields Medalists just signed a letter telling AI companies they're destroying mathematics
