/sci/ Terrence haterz, give ONE valid reason you're not a fan. Hard mode: the reason can't be related to "I'm a dumb bumpkin, and he criticized muh Trump."
I'll go first: I think he's wrong that certain unsolved math problems require collab-maxing. This seems to be an insecure reaction to the fact that Wiles and Perelman didn't collab-max (building upon the work of others is a different story). He also seemed a bit annoyed by the lack of top-tier interest in his Twin Primes Polymath8 collab-maxing project after Yitang Zhang's mini result, as if top-tier number theorists were somehow deficient in character for not wanting to have a flash of genius only to watch Tao's superior marketing and PR tactics relegate their names to historical footnotes.

Wiles had to collabmaxx with Taylor to prove his proof

He's an incredible mathematician, I don't a beef with him.

But that's actually a legitimate reason. There is a lot to criticize about Trump and a lot of reasons to hate Trump. But Tao's blog post was such a shallow mainstream NPC essay, such a disgustingly cringe attempt at virtue signalling, that it's impossible not to lose all respect for him.

Wiles collaborated with Taylor Swift? That's awesome!

He's cool. Never met anyone who hates him.

Ironed out a few things. There's a reason the math community calls it a Wiles proof and not a Wiles-Taylor proof. Compare with Tao-Green.

Collab with Tao, and your work will become Tao's. It's not anything malicious on his part. It's just the state of affairs. Hence why I understand the reluctance on the part of some mathematicians.

Oh, another reason: he's lowered himself to AI masturbation as if the world doesn't have enough of it.
