Paper writer @BilkentCompGen, python basher @CS_Bilkent. Offensive troll. Not a data scientist nor bioinformatician. No soul, no empathy, no sympathy. Nothing.

Day by day, watching students short-circuit with LLMs: Neurons don’t cross, details fade, and exploration stops. The mind no longer wanders through uncertainty, it accepts the first fluent truth. The danger isn’t wrong answers; it’s the quiet death of curiosity.

I will charge only $10k to name your algorithm.
There is a woman in San Francisco who charges $30k to name your baby. She started at $100, but she was going to dinner with VCs and a friend told her to charge more and nobody blinked. The Bay Area might be the best place in the world for this kind of business.
