There are lots of answers out there that are beautiful because the truth of the system is beautiful. If I find one of these beautiful facts, it doesn’t make me brilliant. Just right place and right time. True scientific heroes acknowledge that fact.

The advances we've made in statistics, experimental study design, and causal inference over the past century are remarkably useful for understanding our world. But there is never been a push to make people use them like we are seeing with generative AI. Perhaps take a moment to consider why.

Bluetorial-Jim Watson
I met Jim Watson a few times but did not know him well. However, I was greatly influenced by his book “The Double Helix”. He was a complicated human being with some very, very bad features, but some good contributions.
What follows is my personal perspective.

And, yet, that's what one sees looking at pretty much any research institution on the world... 😔
The worst thing about the book is that it creates the impression that this hypercompetitive, no respect for rules or others, approach to science is normal or desirable.

É preciso parar pra ontem de debater se os mortos eram trabalhadores, vagabundos, inocentes ou criminosos. Isso não é relevante. O que é relevante é que execução sumária é ILEGAL.

Read the whole thread, please.
To conclude: my silver lining hope is that AWS going down can be a learning moment, in which the risks of concentrating the nervous system of our world in the hands of a few players become very clear. And that this can help us craft ways of undoing this concentration and creating real choice ❤️ 13/

You can only hold this belief if you also believe that fascist morons have something of value to add. But they never say anything interesting or insightful or even anything grounded in reality. Fascist discourse exists only to promote fascism. It has no other value
I see endless posts excoriating legacy media and institutional actors for staying on Twitter. They don't fully migrate because bluesky is viewed as too much of an echo chamber. It will never be a viable mainstream competitor so long as it only houses an insular slice of the body politic.

The various people trying to shame me for using large language models to do actual research and produce detailed teaching materials on their harms, instead of simply preaching against them on a street corner—they provide a perfect illustration of wank.

This captures well the uncomfortable, slightly disorienting feeling that wank creates when you're subjected to it, wherein you're expected to speak about and think about the statement as though it say...

However, the "when" was always pretty far over the horizon some 10 or even 5 years ago. It is know coming into more focus. Far far more to do, lots of v. careful analysis, statistics+health economics to do and whole hard yards of improving genome interpretation (much of my research!) but - doable
