I take the AI existential threat seriously. But somehow I'm much more afraid of Trump killing us all than #AI.

“It was such stolen valor.” @karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com take issue with Trump’s account of being carried to safety by firefighters in the aftermath of 9/11.

My naive expectations for the 21st century didn’t involve nearly as many Nazi parties garnering popular support, careful parsings of whether this or that policy or group was really Nazi, or powerful figures in this country exhibiting Nazi sympathies.

LLMs are going to fundamentally change what scholarship is. Pumping out true propositions used to be a viable career. Now much of that can be offloaded, leaving scholars the tasks of understanding, synthesizing, and deciding what is valuable. Goes for math, philosophy, parts of physics.

This Fauci hearing is the biggest explosion of right wing brainworms I've ever seen. Years of debunked and absurd antivax and "gain of function" conspiracy theories expressed as incoherent screaming at an 85 year old man. It's absolutely demented and embarrassing to watch.

The Fauci show trial is an amazing illustration of the fundamental immaturity and insecurity of the modern right. What really outrages them is that he dared to suggest that people make sacrifices for the common good. So much of X/techbro/manosphere thought is just insisting that should never happen.

Trading ESLint and Prettier for Biome
A while back I added ESLint and Prettier to this blog. This year I pulled both out and replaced them with Biome, a single Rust-based tool that formats and lints in one pass. Here is why, and what the switch actually looked like.

Well the President just paid millions after being found guilty of sexual assault, and has made billions off of blatant corruption, and has overseen numerous murders, and is openly working to overturn the results of free elections. The standards for political scandals have gone up!

Ben Franklin was pretty good at distinguishing science from quackery even at a time when the line wasn’t so clear. (It’s much easier today, and so many people are still bad at it.)

Today in 1955, Bertrand Russell issued the Russell-Einstein Manifesto in London, calling upon every government on Earth to prevent a nuclear war by publicly renouncing war, abolishing thermonuclear weapons, and pursuing “peaceful means for the settlement of all matters of dispute between them.”

Scientists, especially younger ones, are going to have to come to terms with the idea that “doing science” is no longer enough. We all have to fight for science: what it means, what are its values, and why it matters.
