    TLDR

    In October 2026, a writer shared a personal perspective after reading essays by Terry Tao, Kevin Buzzard and @wtgowers. A separate post quoted a passage arguing that skeptics who say AI cannot conjecture, theorize or explain were describing last spring's models, and predicting that those objections would no longer apply within months.

    @paulg"Do not bet against the airplane. The skeptics who say AI can't conjecture, can't theorize, and can't explain are describing last spring's models. Within months, they will be describing nobody. The evidence is already on the table, and those with eyes can see it."3h
