In my latest for @undark.org, I compare AI adoption in science to the Ship of Theseus: "If you swap out every wooden plank on a ship over time, is it still the same vessel?" I argue that science derives authority from something more than data generation + publication. undark.org/2026/09/25/o...

AI Presents Science with a ‘Ship of Theseus’ Problem
Opinion | AI can replace each part of the scientific process, leaving the enterprise recognizable but devoid of human judgment.

Something i'm concerned about that we need to be talking about. Many in our community are using agentic AI to improve cow breeding. These models are powerful. Perhaps too powerful. I call it P(moo).

Remember how we were going to see a boom in coal consumption due to the war in Iran? Global seaborne thermal coal imports fell 4mt in 1H26 vs 1H25, -0.9% y/y, -7.7% vs 1H24. If this is a boom, I’d love to see the bust. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Fort Morgan meatpackers vote “yes” on Cargill contract to end 88-day labor lockout
A push for better working conditions and higher pay left 1,700 workers with no job. Union officials said there were some gains but also it was “time to go back to work.”

another one: there is no "dad shift" that easily allows mom to regularly sleep 4+ hours if you're aiming for breast in the first month. unfortunately if babys eating pumped milk she's gotta be pumping or the supply isn't gonna ramp. so the amount she sleeps will be less than you

another slant on this one. not exactly something I believed and strongly, but maybe many people do? the trope that " oh man you don't really do anything with them and just something inherently about boys and girls. they like to play with different stuff" is just nonsense
