Nothing screams that our civilization has stage 4 cancer quite like the moral outrage over this tweet compared to when the world’s wealthiest man decided to take food and essential supplies from the neediest among us, condemning 600k to death.

The question isn’t whether or not we should accelerate the biological sciences and automate medical breakthroughs (we obviously should)—it’s if we want to centralize the automation of science into the fewest hands as possible, because that’s what “replacing all humans” implies.
I was at an event on AI for science yesterday, a panel discussion here at NeurIPS. The panelists discussed how they plan to replace humans at all levels in the scientific process. So I stood up and protested that what they are doing is evil. Look around you, I said. The room is

They have absolutely no awareness of the consequences of their actions.
I agree with @BasedMikeLee and @GenFlynn … NATO is a Cold War relic. We should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our own country, not socialist countries.

When we told you the election of DJT and the goons of @Heritage represented an existential threat to life on earth, we weren’t being hyperbolic. The post-WW2 order is the only thing that prevented uncontrolled nuclear proliferation. That era is over.
This US is a direct threat to European democracy and peace. And no longer an ally. Trump tells us, again, in the new National Security Strategy out today how MAGA will aim to destroy the EU and NATO: Get the AfD & its allies into power. These would proceed to destroy the

The opinion distributors are teaming up with the people who want to financialize opinions so they can arbitrage low-information individuals and profit off of polarization. What could possibly go wrong?

The position that an objective physical world doesn't exist independent of phenomenal consciousness is morally equivalent to stating that you're at the center of the universe.

No it doesn’t.
"Quantum mechanics doesn’t have a measurement problem. It has an experience problem." "Subjective experience isn’t a glitch in the system. It’s the whole damn interface." "Life is the most important problem in physics because it is more mind blowing than black holes and string

If you’re an academic having an existential crisis over AI replacing you, then what you’re working on probably isn’t all that interesting.

First comes dirt, then comes energy dominance. Construction on G2_Austin has begun. A 2.1GW solar cell fab in Texas. This is more than breaking ground. This is breaking free from energy dependence by building an American supply chain.

Plot twist: quantum gravity is the most predictive theory ever discovered and eventually leads to the creation of time machines.

Physics scicomm has gone sideways. The field didn’t stagnate after Einstein and it isn’t stagnate today. There are so many ingenious experiments happening in cosmology, astrophysics, and the foundations of quantum mechanics that it’s impossible to keep up with them all.
It's relieving to see that other researchers are finally seeing the light. We have been blindsided by LLMs. We need new methods if we want to truly reach AGI. We cannot become like physics. Their field stagnated for decades after Einstein's big discoveries.

So many people seem incredibly pessimistic about the future of humanity. I couldn’t disagree more. Humanity hasn’t even achieved 1% of its full potential. I believe one day we will master the quantum nature of space and time. And not just in theory, but in practice.
