Soon we will all just be human cattle owner by billionaires who own all the technology used to keep us poor and indoors. Oh, no - that's actually now.
the billionaires currently see the problem as how to properly read the ownership tag.

#13He's embedded in a social and professional world that has every incentive to believe the current state of AI progress is real and important and should be hyped to the stars. I am unsurprised to read such frothing soothsaying as a result.

#14Someone close to me is about to embark on a maths PhD. I'm curious about what advice people here would have for people in that position.
I think it depends what they’re hoping to get out of it.

I think that's temporarily. The trend is to reduce the population, see Europe and China.

I think they'll do okay considering there's another story in the front page about a university in California just now realizing after six years (without the requirement) that standardized math testing should be pre-requisite for...wait for it...STEM candidates.
Short-term: you better love it. Long-term: just focus on being one of the ones that ensures humans retain their ability to understand math. Do a YouTube channel on the side where you make math legible to the masses in a fun, engaging way. Use the cash from that to fund your research/genuine passions.
Whatever you do: please don't submit to the machine or throw away your genuine curiosity as a sacrifice on the Altar of Commerce.
