Registering my prediction: over the next 5 years, Tesla sales will continue to decline, and the Optimus robots will be a Cybertruck-scale nonstarter.

The company will be a world-leading innovator in shady market manipulation and fraudulent accounting techniques. He’ll hit his fake targets.

insane that people are getting in trouble for just quoting Charlie Kirk point blank. many of these people are not even expressing support for what happened to him, just quoting him & questioning double standards in how we respond to violence. we live in a far-right culture

I feel like one of the many effects of LLMs on our industry is going to be making it really clear that the coding was never the hard part.

Conditional on somebody being a more senior scholar active in replication initiatives, they are less likely to be known for their own highly visible scientific achievements.
In other news, conditioning on the outcome reliably makes it very hard to understand how the world works.

It can be so frustrating to read STS research. Here are Bartscherer and Reinhart osf.io/rbyt6_v1/ Look at their flawed logic: Replication is *used as a career strategy*. The evidence? People were not known for earlier research. The clear confound? ECR’s drove the replication movement! 1/x
