Greg Burton @gregburton.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Not quite apples to apples, but 2023 UC Berkeley reported 61 rapes, UCLA 61. And it appears (skimming lit) that at least in Cali, dorm rapes are a huge factor - overall seems to potentially correlate with provided student housing. 100

Greg Burton @gregburton.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Cornell has about 25k students, grad and undergrad. Typical sexual assault reports for a town of that size are 9-10 per year. Multiplying x4 (standard-ish for calculating underreportage) would be 40ish. And Cornell has TWO HUNDRED. 100

Greg Burton @gregburton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think productivity is misleading to look at, in the first place, in that it includes changes in labor hours both by replacement and enhancement. What would be much more interesting is the effect of AI on % COGS, including shifting labor costs to capital expenses and then depreciating them. 000
