I was part of a group that met last week to try to propose recommended changes to the structure of math PhD programs in an age of AI. Our report, together with a collection of related resources, is now available here:

I visited UT Austin today for a grad student event. I particularly like the bells from the tower.

In yet another sign of AI’s surging dominance over human minds, OpenAI recently claimed to solve one of math’s biggest questions: the Navier-Stokes problem. But now three mathematicians have showed OpenAI’s work dodges the question rather than solving it.

In “Why Do We Need Human Mathematicians Anymore?”, Po-Shen Loh starts from an axiom: humans should help humanity flourish. As AI creates more “control points,” experts must oversee them -- and keep doing research to retain the expertise to steer AI.

Axiom is going through hypergrowth 📈
We are hiring 20+ roles, technical (model, eval, FV, hardware design, product eng, FDEs, etc) and GTM (founder's office) 🪐
I am esp seeking high-agency folks - way smarter than me and push my thinking - to own the hardest problems E2E 🚀

Loved this. Middle class kid of a single mom from NZ, works hard to go to Harvard, then Yale Law, Stanford MBA, Oxford PhD as a Rhodes Scholar, and eight more, just because he enjoys learning new things. And starts a hugely profitable company in his spare time. Support ambition!

Dude, is there any greater example of assimilation to American culture than kids from Indian backgrounds rooting for a team called Longhorns?
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

They just admitted me to grad school (an almost 43 year old typical balding white Texan male). Your thesis is racist and wrong sir. The picture you shared represents a diverse group that plays a large part in making UT a powerhouse university on the world stage.
I cheered the win for the team. It was a great game. But I weep for the families in Texas who can’t get into UT because they prioritize foreigners over Texans. Shame on you for ignoring that fact.
Community note
Texas state law requires at least 90% of UT Austin freshmen to be Texas residents. International students comprise only ~4% of recent freshmen and compete with out-of-state applicants for the ~10% non-resident spots.

WIRED reported today that I began to cry while talking about AI and mathematics. But the article didn’t explain what moved me.
The truth is, I’m not entirely sure myself. I’d like to try to explain. 🧵
