• Learn and relean your Field - Terry Tao - November 7, 2026
  Notes

  It is particularly useful to lecture on your field, or write lecture notes or other expository material, even if it is just for your own personal use. You will eventually be able to internalise even very difficult results using efficient mental shorthand; this not only allows you to use these results effortlessly, and improve your own ability in the field, but also frees up mental space to learn even more material.

  He's thinking about the internet condom idea as well. I'm still not entirely sure how to approach it, but it will be needed very soon if not now already. Just some quick thoughts: I think, as Josh suggests, it should be a classifier model (see Jev mabybe) that runs locally on your laptop/desktop and maybe through a browser extension is able to see all the text on pages that you open to decide 0-100% if it's AI generated or not. Stuff like this already exists, yes, but having this local and custom built is always a nicer alternative.
