Not sure whether this is an indictment on Derrida, cows, or the type of people who would listen to Derrida.

Me, reading my own writing, wondering what idiot wrote this.

I think Altman assumes that “PhD-level expert” means someone who speaks confidently on everything as opposed to saying “it’s nuanced,” losing their keys, and getting maniacally fixated on their current topic to the point of seeing it in everything.

To be fair, I struggle with basic spelling and my geography sucks.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

My aspirations as a scientist are not to discover the meaning of life or win the Nobel prize.
It's to be regarded highly enough by other scientists that no one cares if I dress like a slob at conferences.

Why is the Earth spinning faster? Is time speeding up? Australia’s experts give us their second opinion A standard Earth day is 86,400 seconds, but over three days in July and August, scientists expect the planet’s rotation to quicken relative to the sun

Personally I think the most interesting thing about modern AI is that in French "ChatGPT" sounds like "chat, j'ai pété". #AI

The highest priority for making philosophy relevant in the 21st century should be to teach philosophers where the delete key is.

Science communicators: "Explain it as though you're talking to an intelligent 12 year old."

Me: "Explain it to me as though you're talking to a 35 year old idiot."

This is the philosophy I try to instill in my children. #adulting

Maiden flight of my eflite Se5a today.
Blustery conditions, but the gyro smoothed it out and she flew nicely. Looking forward to seeing how she handles in calm weather. Hopefully will post a video soon.
