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 Anti-Intellectualism of Silicon Valley Elites
I recently re-read Richard Hofstadter's Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, and now every time a reactionary Silicon Valley billionaire opens his mouth, I think about it. So I wrote about it for The Nation. Here's the column: On Instagram, there’s an activist named Brian Patrick (@pano.

We're excited to be partnering with Anthropic and OpenAI to host the world's first hackathon devoted to research-level mathematics. 40 hours and $2M in compute to solve, understand, and present an open math problem. Applications are live at https://lnkd.in/d79qFQ4s We look forward to seeing you all on October 30 at Caltech!

Keating — The Hyperteacher
Socratic AI that forces you to reconstruct understanding from memory. No hand-holding. No spoon-feeding. Free and open source.
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.
