3Blue1Brown unpacks AI's impact on math careers in new video essay
akbirthko · x · 2026-10-17
3Blue1Brown (Grant Sanderson) released a reflection on AI in math, titled "There's never been a better time to go into math." His approach: enumerate what mathematicians actually do, why math is valuable, and where funding comes from — then reason through what changes if AI keeps getting more capable.
The clip, notable for its measured tone, is circulating with the quote: "There's a tendency to see more negativity online, and more joy in person, which is not unique to AI."
