Mathematician littmath responds to mob demanding immediate release of isomonodromy work

The math community jokingly 'mobs' littmath demanding immediate release of his joint work with Lam on the arithmetic of isomonodromy foliations. He responds that mathematical results should generally be released openly, whether produced by a person or an AI lab, but a few months to write things up properly is reasonable — he has many results still awaiting careful write-ups.
