Halloween meme: AI labs throwing a party to celebrate the Death of Mathematics
marc_lelarge · x · 2026-10-28
A piece of dark humor circulating in the AI/math research community: imagine it's 2026 and your lab throws its biggest Halloween party to celebrate the Death of Mathematics — PIs drunk in the coffee room, PhDs and postdocs dancing around a bonfire of obsolete preprints, even Reviewer 2 having fun, capped off with a Fields-medal DJ dropping the perfect track.
The joke captures the community's self-deprecating anxiety about AI upending traditional research paradigms.
