Part 1/6 of fortnow's thread on Danny Calegari's talk at UChicago's Math in the Age of AI seminar:
- Calegari demonstrated how he uses Claude to collaborate on math, visualize concepts, and create his entire slide deck from a single prompt.
- fortnow notes the best part of the talk wasn't the AI but Calegari's own quotes (covered in the rest of the thread).
- A rare public demo of a top pure mathematician weaving AI deeply into his research workflow.
