Quote argues mathematics will fall first, then theoretical science follows
himanshustwts · x · 2026-07-21

The post adds only a brief reaction, but the quoted line is the substantive part: it frames a near-term view that AI progress may hit core mathematics before spreading into broader theory-heavy disciplines.
