They are concerned mathematicians are obsolete and seem to be unaware that super intelligence means humans are obsolete.

You need to be thinking about an entirely different form of life for all of humanity, happening in the very near future. Focusing on one specific field that may be earlier in the obsolescence chain is a distraction.

Merit based society based on intelligence or work of nearly any kind is about to cease existence.

For some reason it feels to me that this should make mathematicians feels better. :)
