Grant Sanderson recently distinguished mathematicians that create syntax (he might use the word ontologies in some circles) from those who manipulate it on the Dwarkesh podcast. I liked this delineation a lot. We seem to be at ‘manipulating syntax’.

Creating useful ontologies still seems a ways off here. Not to complain about this awesome result, just to think about where some future goalposts might be laid (and of course complained about / discussed at length when reached)
