Grant makes strong points, and I agree that math isn't going anywhere.
But "never a better time to go into math" is easy to say from outside the career ladder. For a PhD student whose thesis problem just got solved by a model, or a postdoc wondering if their skills still count, this is a hard moment.
Careers are being reoriented. People are having to reinvent themselves. That deserves sympathy, not just optimism.

Some reflections on AI in math. I found it helpful to simply list out the various parts of what a mathematician does, why math is valuable, and where the funding comes from. From there, what happens if AI gets more capable?
