Who will continue to develop neural nets if the mathematics training pipeline dries up? Will we see the frontier labs relinquish AI research to the machines themselves while their humans apply for unemployment benefits?
Currently math research serves both as a training pipeline and as a math-production pipeline, and its funding is set based on those two outputs. If it is "just" a training pipeline, do we need as many mathematicians?
