What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

We are literally mad about your failure to fight the real dangers.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Some studies appear to back the view that AI is to blame for firms hiring fewer young professionals. Yet broader evidence points in the other direction
Don’t blame AI for your job woes

I’ll say something:
Watson was a racist and misogynist ass & actively carried out harm across his career & life.
Including the “myth” of his “discovery” of structure of DNA & it’s excision or minimization of Rosalind Franklin.
Latter has Hahn - Lise Meitner vibes too while we’re here.

Oh sure you think Chuck Schumer is “caving” and “wants to ruin all the momentum” and “is horrible at politics” but what if I was to tell you that this old crazy man ran the idea by an imaginary married Irish American couple that exists only in his mind and they think it’s great politics

It is fascinating, how the Star Trek ship computer got turned into ego-stroking money printing machine, so that a bunch of greedy dickweasels can maximize their profits with slightly modified stolen content. And i'm still unable to control my damn phone with voice input...
