Genie AI theory: Classical genies granting wishes work maliciously to take the wish at its most literal or context-free to grant the wisher what they said rather than what they meant. LLMs do exactly the same thing because that's all they can do. Malice intended or not, the effect is often the same.

I first saw The Princess Bride a little less than 39 years ago, and am watching it again in an outdoor movie night outside a favorite wine store. Nearly twice as much life lived after as before, but it hits a lot the same.

The wealthiest man in human history—who clearly performed several Nazi salutes on Inauguration Day 2025—is directly responsible for the deaths of up to 14 million people, including 4.5 million children, by 2030. He's not "quirky" or "weird" or "awkward". He's a fucking monster.

The U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.
The Curiosity rover on Mars. At about $2.6 billion, it buys you about ten days of Iran war.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

A reply to my own question Re: LPSC 2026 abstracts. As of 2:30pm today abstracts are around #1915. <100 or so since the first deadline passed, and if the numbering started at #1000, then the total may come in at N<1000, and I think very likely N<1200

Our new survey of parabolas on Venus, and evidence for True Polar Wander at ~1°/Myr is now published! (TLDR @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social was right. nananana BAT region) agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Sketch by JT Keane of a talk at 2025 LPSC (True Polar Wander of Venus as an explanation for misaligned parabolas). Impacts on Venus loft material into the atmosphere. As the material falls back through the atmosphere, winds push it downrange — forming a parabola. This parabola should point west... but old parabolas aren't. Perhaps Venus reoriented! Parabolas are effectively paleo-west indicators. Old, misaligned parabolas might record TRUE POLAR WANDER.
