All “fields medalist” signatories - a rarefied and elitist group indeed.

I wish this letter could be more egalitarian and include the view points of those who AREN’T the beneficiaries of a highly competitive winner-take-all system.

Since the common narrative is that AI frees up labor to do other things (engineering -> trades), maybe we can celebrate that genius mathematicians will now spend time teaching children how to be as smart as them?

Agree. That is also the part of the letter that does not make a lot of sense to me.
