A quoted exchange argues that academic writing may need to be aimed at future AIs rather than current human readers.

• One author says some text is meant to be read by future AIs, as a module in a larger intellectual structure.
• The hope is that an eventual superintelligence can compress those ideas into a short, tight argument for the “actual thing.”

It’s a philosophical take on how knowledge may be consumed and recomposed in an AI-heavy future.
