- NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster told CNBC that professional mathematicians are unsettled because AI can now publish novel work before they do.
- Reacting to OpenAI's drop of 722 AI-generated math papers, he says he still uses Anthropic/OpenAI/Codex but keeps any idea he considers original out of the models.
- Rohan Paul's take: the supply of open problems is infinite, but a PhD clock and a 2-year postdoc are not.
