I had someone tell me today his lab "is trying to use ChatGPT to design and implement experiments". They literally are asking it "to come up with experiments, write a protocol and communicate with other machines to implement it". I am in hell. We are in hell.

Congratulations Australia! The people have crushed the fascists. The Labor party’s PM Anthony Albanese has secured a second term in office in an election wipeout.

The push back against the Trump / Putin aligned global regressive movement continues strong.

God, that was hard to bear. Students told a physics town hall that grad schools have rescinded admission. NSF proposals are censored for words like “bias,” even when the meaning is technical. Physics curricula are being banned by school districts for encouraging girls. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch
