What a moving and insightful interview, Steve. Thanks for taking both math and non-math listeners on such a deep dive into our fraught times.
I spoke with The Daily about what’s happening to math in the age of AI—and what it feels like to be a mathematician right now.
The conversation went places I hadn’t expected.
I’m grateful to @RachelAbramsNY, @annieminoff, and their team.

🌈Today is #NationalComingOutDay.
🚪For many queer South Asian immigrants in the U.S., coming out carries real risk. Author @ManilSuri (he/him) speaks about a silence so deep that coming out can feel impossible.

My mother wrote a letter to Indira Gandhi asking for a job after her father died. Some months later she received a reply asking her to come for an interview and she got a job as Mrs Gandhi personal assistant. @manilsuri in conversation with Arsen @boulderbooks @JLFLitfest @JaipurLitFest #JLFCOLORADO

The room was a central identity for the book. While it was a refuge from the toxicity of the neighbors, it was still a place I needed to escape from. @ManilSuri spks to M.Randall O'Wain. @JLFLitfest @JaipurLitFest #JLFUSA #JLFNORTHCAROLINA @TeamworkArts
