The author muses that the entire AI revolution rests on vectors and matrices: humanity spent centuries developing linear algebra, added enough GPUs, and now the matrices write poetry. The quoted thread recommends a tensor calculus book, arguing textbooks offer magical definitions without insight while pop-sci lacks rigor—a gap the author is now filling by writing his own book with AI's help.
