I am a mathematician but I avoided commenting on this because the problems are (far) outside my domain. Even if I sat down to read the technical details (which I have not), it would be hard to appreciate the context of prior work, etc. But I've gotten enough sense of things… https://t.co/VZzosBYFto— Tony Feng (@tonylfeng) August 5, 2026

The best journal article titles tell you what the study actually found, rather than being a teaser to make you read the paper. Here's a good example: "Spaced mathematics practice improves test scores and reduces overconfidence" https://t.co/iXxdkAgYPM ($)— Dylan Wiliam (@dylanwiliam) December 31, 2024

I do not understand why we are all piling on one paper. Is there anything obviously wrong with it, aside from personal views on length? Any data anomalies ...
Complete Works (1977–2024) — Hirsch Argument Atlas
This atlas maps the complete argument of E.D. Hirsch Jr. across 10 books spanning 1977 to 2024. Every claim is extracted, every piece of evidence tracked, and every counter-argument surfaced. A separate layer of external scholarly research provides independent context.
Thoughtful and relevant outside math. A partial summary: Gowers thinks it’s important to sustain a human mathematical culture, but is unconvinced by the Leiden Declaration’s attempt to do that by reaffirming human ownership of specific *discoveries*.

an interesting blog post by Timothy Gowers on the Leiden declaration (on AI and Math), on why he didn't sign. it gets to a subtler aspect of control over AI and our future.
Interesting footnote on math arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2608.16066v1
James then uses probably the biggest overinflator here: papermills. Papermills are like a bogeyman of #ScientificPublishing. Today, if you want to raise alarm about a paper (or besmirch someone you don't like, it really goes both ways), you can just claim the study comes from a papermill /22

Unless you have skipped a lot of school, or work, or both – or you live in the USA – you have probably used an A4 sheet of paper before now. Have you ever wondered …
