The previous decade too

Based on what I've seen happen to people I know in the last couple years, I'm pretty sure the next decade or so is going to require some very serious thought about how badly these things can fuck a person up.

Recent things from me discussing the state & implications of "generative AI": "On Bullshit Engines: The Socioethical & Epistemic Status of GPTs & other ‘AI.’" (2024) [Frames the Frankfurt connection] "Reimagining "AI’s" Environmental & Sociotechnical Materialities" (2025) [Does pretty much that] …

A point i have made in many "AI and the future of work" panels, with direct reference to Ruth Schwartz Cowen's foundational 'More Work For Mother.'

13. Hence our dismal conclusion: rather than finding that LLMs free us to do a better job of what we were doing before they came along, they shift scientific incentives (and the playing field of academic competition) in ways that compel us to do more and more, faster and faster, less and less well.

Suresh describes this as a literal religious mania. In the 500+ employee businesses Suresh studied, the only people who were promoted - or even spared from being fired - were people who professed "religious declarations of faith" about "the transformative power of AI." 23/

There's a lot in this thread & its multiple & various reply/quote offshoots that i disagree with, & am exhausted by, but i want to focus on 1 that i keep trying to press on: Let's stipulate LLMs *Can* do grad- & even expert-level math & we should prep for a revolution in the field… So what then?…

There's lots of stuff LLMs can't do, but if you want to disbelieve all the recent math, you have to believe a bunch of Fields Medalists with long track records are just straightforwardly lying about the thing they care most about. Here's a recent blog by Gowers: gowers.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/a...

If you want to turn "AI As More" into a visually legible hashtag, you're ironically going to want to leave the first two letters lowercase and capitalize the "As." Otherwise it looks like you're saying "Alas, more," which, while funny/appropriate, probably wasn't what you were going for
