MIT physicist David Turturean predicts that mathematics is heading toward a 'Large Hadron Collider' style future. He believes AI will completely overtake humans in output and complexity, leaving humans to merely sift through AI-generated material to find what feels important.
Drawing a parallel to historical 'human computers,' he notes this mirrors the agent economy dilemma, where AI could dominate resource allocation, leaving humans with less for their own economy.
