"The case of Moscow was a bit ambiguous. Georges de Rham introduced the laureates.

Unfortunately, A. Grothendieck, was unable to come. May I call Messrs. Atiyah, Cohen and Smale to come forward and receive these medals from the hands of Academician Keldysh.

I have already mentioned this but I repeat the information because (as I just learned) Академик Мстислав Келдыш is the name of a 6,240 ton Russian scientific research vessel which played a role in the filming of James Cameron’s Titanic."

Keldysh was the architect of the Soviet space program. Elon Musk might be the closest US equivalent in 2026.

You're absolutely right! Besides, his team plans to "solve mathematics" (https://siliconreckoner.substack.com/p/welcome?utm_source=publication-search) by 2029. So at the ICM in 2030, which will be held on Mars, all Fields Medalists will be artificial.

Hey MH, I see that StableDiffusion has visualized all the next Fields Medalists as men! Sigh. He that shall not be named has shown such a disrespect for numbers (except when they signify His Glory) that one can only hope the medals will never be sullied by his hands.

Either Stable Diffusion also has trouble with numbers, or is predicting that HWMNBN will be giving himself a Fields Medal.
