IMU: We've awarded Fields medals to these outstanding mathematicians.

Hackernews: Next time it'll all be LLMs. AI's going to kill us all, though, one of the mathematicians said so! Maths is useless anyway, what a bunch of nerds. Ooh, one of them likes lesbian fanfic.

> Ooh, one of them likes lesbian fanfic

Oddly. specific. Sorry, I don't get the reference, could you please tell me what/who does that refer to (which fanfic and person, and why said person and fact is relevant to this question)

The quote I've seen was that Yu Deng dedicated part of his success to reading yuri (lesbian themed) manga.

It was a reference to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49031519. Not a topic I know anything about.

People often bring up Palmer Luckey's (CEO of Anduril) old tweets about anime. Respect to the guy, he still hasn't deleted them.
