A colleague just told me the problem he spent the most time on was solved by AI. The argument is only 3 pages, but he cannot even get himself to read it because he feels he can no longer contribute.
A crisis of meaning is coming, first for (many) mathematicians, then for others.

Tweet by mathematician Lev Reyzin relaying that a colleague's most-worked problem was solved by AI in a three-page argument the colleague cannot bring himself to read, and predicting a crisis of meaning, first for mathematicians and then for others.

I used GPT to solve a problem that I had wanted to solve ten years ago but couldn't: arxiv.org/abs/2608.22247.
Throughout the process, I felt that my only role was to teach the AI how to write things in a way that I could understand. Its initial language was extremely condensed—so compressed that I could barely follow it—but somehow the AI agents themselves seemed to understand it perfectly well.
I increasingly feel that every theoretical field that relies on a large amount of public knowledge plus logical reasoning is going to undergo a profound transformation. What will the role of humans be then? Will we only need to ask the right questions?
Universities will also change profoundly. What should universities teach students in the future?

imagine not seeing beyond this middling interim stage, lol
imagine not seeing that within a fistful of years, ai will have better (more productive, more useful) 'intentions' than you 98% of the time
you me contribution will not be your genius, it'll be getting out of the way

Nobody who's building something with high future value is worried about AI taking their job. When you're in that setting, building stuff expands your opportunity surface area to build even higher-value stuff. The more you do, the more there is to do. The more of your work AI takes, the more work you have left to do.
But, unfortunately, things with high future value are the hardest to automate because they typically haven't been done or even thoroughly imagined yet. So basically you're safe from AI doing your work, and you're sad about that. That's what happens when you build where building creates more opportunities to build.
