alt Hacker NewsLet us know when it is clear that UCLA does not hire the candidate with the most top-tier journal papers.
It’s more likely that instead of spending a 100K/year direct grant on two PhD students, PIs will hire 1 and have the student spend 50K on AI.

My understanding is that top tier math programs don't hire based on journal pubs and haven't for a bit. Math journals are pretty slow and hiring is really via reputation building based on one or two big wow ideas / proofs propogated via arxiv and talks.

More likely is that frontier labs give huge discounts of EDUs if they consent to allowing training.
