As an answer to AI companies, this is so bad: instead of trying to find a path to a win-win-ish solution with some trade-offs, this says: sorry, we cannot think of any, so just stop making money, will you? Math needs better crisis managers.
But as an idea, this is even worse: does it mean to stop potential research to cold fusion, cancer and anything as long as it may touch some mathematician's interests, or does it mean math is so hopelessly irrelevant that this cannot be the case... Again, as a crisis manager, this is not how you pose it.
Makes me wonder, were they hired by Sam to sabotage?
