I'm getting seriously worried about my career in science due to the speed with which AI is advancing.
Just 4 years ago it couldn't do elementary school math, now it's tackling millennium prize problems

Why? It's gonna be of good use in science and people have to interpret/use it, people like you. I'd be more concerned as an accountant or some nonsense like "product manager". I'm sure AI that solves advanced problems and checks itself can be made to fill in excel sheets and check itself.

why would you be worried
AI might be an incredibly powerful tool but it's still a tool that you yourself can leverage to speed up your workflow
and as much as the retard CEOs at the top wanna replace their workforce completely with AI, it always ends up backfiring on them

Is law safe? Worst case I can just do criminal/family law or some shit. That literally can't be done by ai

My only cope remaining is that LLMs so far are excelling mostly at domains that are readily verifiable and there's too much humanslop in the literature of the physical sciences for it to make rapid progress without performing its own experiments first.

It honestly does feel like something big is about to happen. I thought AI would run out of steam by now but it's just ramping up

Your career in science was probably fucked anyway. However le AI stole those "solutions". Not that they are actual solutions. Both the Navier-Stokes and the Riemann things are mere progress that doesn't have much to do with the really hard part of the problem.

Quite the opposite really. Think about the meta, knowledge is in itself a mind dependent property of information. Symbolic jargon become information when a mind indexes it to knowledge space.
Einstein describes it best in, “Das Raum-, Ather- und Feldproblem der Physik”:
>Concepts can acquire content only when they are connected with sensory experiences. No logical investigation can uncover this connection; it can only be experienced. And yet it is precisely this connection which determines the knowledge-value of the systems of concepts.
>An archaeologist from a later culture finds a textbook on Euclidean geometry without
diagrams. He will find out how the words “point”, “line” and “plane” are used in the theorems. He
will also discern how these are derived from each other. He will even be able to put forward new
theorems himself according to the discerned rules. But the formation of theorems will be an empty word-game for him so long as he cannot “have something in mind” for a point, line, plane, etc. Until this is the case, geometry will hold no actual content for him.
>What does this “having something in mind for a line, point, intersection etc.” mean? It means
indicating the sensory experience content to which those words relate. This extralogical problem constitutes the essence-problem which the archaeologist will be able to solve only intuitively. Only in this sense can the question of the essence of an abstractly described entity be meaningfully posed in a reasonable way.We will always need a human second author to index math papers into our collective mind's knowledge space. Since the sheer output of math result is about to go up, we will need more human mathematicians around to keep up to date with cutting edge research. A human is needed more now than ever. This is the best time to be a mathematician.

If it gets to that point society is just completely fucked and you've got bigger problems.

Be nonchalant & carefree when dealing with life. If Tech overlords win, it's gg for 99 percent of humanity. If they don't, your skills will stay useful. Either way, life is meaningless and existence is fake & gay
