3Blue1Brown on math research and who gets to join in during the AI era

On October 18, Hacker News' front page picked up a 3Blue1Brown video on the future of math in the AI era. He argues now is a good time to go into math, and discusses math students' anxiety plus proof machines, conjecture machines and theory machines. In a pinned comment he adds that as research shifts toward theory building, proofs look more like raw data, and that even without using models, people can contribute by reading existing human work and deepening their understanding.
