Math is an extremely useful tool. My interface with it should be 100% prioritized toward effectively using that tool. I'm glad we don't call them Turning machines for instance.

You talk like it fell out of the sky. Every result you've ever used was proposed by a mathematician.

> I'm glad we don't call them Turning machines for instance.

Are you referring to a Turing machine; the abstract model of a computer, actually named after someone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine

Your bizarre position seems to be that not knowing history somehow makes you more effective? This is honestly the dumbest take I have read all week.


I think all of the insults I'm receiving in this thread are helping to make my point.

I'm furiously shaking my fist at the air and cursing the fate that we didn't follow some vague "better" naming convention, as learning a handful of Greek symbols robbed us of the next Riemann. The injustice!

I think mathematicians are the profession people will care the least that AI takes over tbh.
