Several people told me that new Science & Tech results are now on Social Media. Jnl, conf, etc? too slow. Very Worrying trend! Soc. media is about *attention*, rather than *facts* Claims need to be checked before they are accepted. Let's speed up peer-review, not eliminate it!

Just (belatedly) read ai-2027.com, with all its chilling predictions 😱 I wonder... --Is AI the ultimate example of Market Failure (C.f. "The Tragedy of the commons"), where Humanity itself is the proverbial "Commons" ? Oh, whatever. I got conference deadlines!

why no word from TransUnion yet? Seems more like a hack the longer this goes on. Searching “transunion” on twitter doesn’t look good…

You know a field is moving too fast when several of your colleagues tell you about a paper *you must read* that has yet to appear on Google Scholar. Oi veh. கண்ட்ராவி.

1/3 The US didn’t end up leading the world in computing by luck. It happened because it made long-term, public investments in basic research, especially through NSF. That’s what created the technology that today’s companies are built on.

In a country where development should reach everyone, this video from a bus in India shows a woman sitting on the floor, saying she's not used to seats. This highlights the deep-rooted issues of social exclusion and accessibility for marginalized communities.

A modest proposal for Elon Musk to gain universal, world hero status, boost Tesla and perhaps win the Nobel Peace prize….back something like Kim Stanley Robinson idea of Carbon Coin, with your fortune! (Since U.S. govt goes the other way) npr.org/2022/11/11/113…

Very puzzling interview of Peter Thiel, by Ross Douthat of the The New York Times . Two important takeaways: Greta Thunberg could be the Anti-Christ, and the most important problem confronting humankind is old-age Dementia. Stay mentally active, folks, and steer clear of Swedish Teens.

Well-chosen words. Fossil fuels are not burned and CO2 is not “released or dispersed” for “the express purpose of altering…..climate” so it all good. Drill baby drill.

Perhaps the post-training objective on GeeArrOhKay now aimed at greater attention (likes/RT) rather than safety, soundness etc? If the objective is now more attention, that might explain some of the recent behaviors Although perhaps a Clever Hans 🐴scenario is not OOTQ?

This is really quite interesting: Wholesale Real Time Energy costs in the California Central Valley: around -21$/megawatt hour. It's NEGATIVE. I assume because it's not that hot today, and it's sunny. Storage Tech FTW.

All the intense excitement and stereotyping over the Indian shoplifter is quite puzzling. It’s just the normal distribution folks! India has ~4x the U.S. pop., so we got ~4x the number of geniuses and saints, and ~4x the number of asshats and idjits. Nothing🍔
