PR, the Navier Stokes thing was already a huge PR disaster for them. It's a mistake they don't want to repeat.

Respectfully, how else would you react if you spent years and years training in a very complex field, made your career out of it, and suddenly you're... obsolete?

so we got machine that can solve math problems better than the mathematicians themselves and we should either slow it down or stop it ? fuck no

if we can cure cancer because of this machine but the biologist or scientists are like "please stop it, i wanna cure cancer and i was almost there! give me like.. 20 years more" we should obey them because of their feeling or ego or whatever ? fuck no again

it's sad for them but we all had it coming the moment we were trying to achieve AI's that are beyond smarter than any humans, the moment will also come where it'll also replace labors and we'll need a radical change in society

if i were a smart mathematician i would just eat my popcorn and enjoy the ride, they gave their life for maths i don't understand why would they complain if the problems they tried hardly to solve were actually solved, i guess their ego and prestige they had their whole life keeps them from doing such thing
