1. OpenAI/Anthropic and their friends in high academia are like Ford. Their supervisees (2nd class citizens of the Borg, if not what you mean by "the people") can afford to validate frontiers. Detractors may wish for something like Fordlandia to happen (ie the climate becoming an "unforeseen" but critical issue).

This sounds like a polarization of the mathematician electorate. oAI/Anthropic becoming the far right. Most-famous and Nonfamous academics alike join the other side (decentralizers). Barely second tier academics (Witten, Gowers, Hairer for some strange reason) become alt-right. Centrists migrate to silicon valley en masse, only indirectly complicit with the far right in a role of "cognitive swing(vot)ing"
We're in for a world of Trickle-down Sapience!
In the other, non-hacker news, math-Mamdani becomes vice-chancellor of Oxford, purges PPE ("campaign donations" from Gerko?). BRCS silently become net-token-exporters. Token rates in India/Japan/Korea exceed even Canada
