Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

If you’re giving a talk about AI in medicine, maybe don’t have the AI write it and make all the slides.

I try to remind myself and my students every day that millions of people far smarter than most of us have lived and died in anonymity for want of opportunity. And humanity is the poorer for it. Those of us provided with opportunities have a responsibility not to squander them
