Former OpenAI research VP Jerry Tworek says mathematics is “the language of abstraction,” but argues that once models take over the field — which he believes will happen soon — math will look very different.
He adds that if you can build a good abstraction and manipulate it, mathematics gives you a bird’s-eye view of ML research. The post is less about a specific product and more about how an ex-OpenAI leader thinks AI will reshape a core scientific discipline.
