My new favorite quote about AI:
“The entire paradigm makes no guarantees about what it will do in novel contexts. [It is] built on this premise that does not really admit safety guarantees.” -Alex Cloud

If you are or know any compelling math educators (especially undergrad) or communicators in the NYC area who might be willing to speak, please contact me or send them my way. It's so crucial we know how to effectively educate and share the beauty and importance of our work, especially these days!!!

Something interesting I've noticed in the responses to this article:
Some mathematicians: "Why 'quietly???'" "I was just at [niche math conference] and it was all anybody talked about!"
Many non-mathematicians: "Wow that's so interesting—mathematicians do research? I never thought about that!"
