I can kind of relate but I feel like I am mourning something different: the loss of the desire to seek truth in tech, math etc.

Nothing is validated or tested anymore. It’s all about the shape or believability or even how loud it is.

They dropped 100+ papers no one read. I am sure mathematicians are reading them now but even this forum has concluded that these problems are solved, without reading or validating.

It’s like everyone forgot “don’t believe everything you read on the Internet.” And it makes for a very boring discussion when everyone is just spewing unvalidated claims, layering them with strong beliefs founded on similarly unvalidated claims. It’s dull, without substance and just pure noise.
