There’s a terrifying trend (particularly in academia) of signaling authenticity by dismissing popularity.
One might commit to “pure” intellectual pursuit rather than pandering to wider audiences.
Simplification is treated as intellectual dilution.

Most hashing algorithms are designed to avoid collisions.
What if they weren’t?
Locality-sensitive-hashing (LSH) is a way to group similar inputs into the same “buckets” with high probability.
Collisions are maximized, not minimized.

Trump announces 500B in AI funding. Five days ago.
Deepseek r1 release. 8 days ago.
The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.
Beautiful.
