The careers and wealth of people like @pmarca wouldn’t exist without institutions funding basic research at universities. The Tech Right are the bottom dwellers of innovation, pushing bits around in the pursuit of status and wealth with little regard for the generations to come.
Leaked group chat messages show that Marc Andreessen opposes science funding and high-skilled immigration. People think there's a "split" between MAGAs and the Tech Right. These are two issues where you would think that the split would manifest itself. Especially on high-skill

But I was told AI will discover new physics in a year.
Can an AI model predict perfectly and still have a terrible world model?. What would that even mean?. Our new ICML paper formalizes these questions. One result tells the story: A transformer trained on 10M solar systems nails planetary orbits. But it botches gravitational laws 🧵

The liminal space between spacetime and spinors is a stunning one.
Spacetime is often tied to general relativity, but plays a very important role in particle physics as well:. - Antiparticles are a consequence of spacetime symmetries. - Spin is inherent to how quantum fields respect spacetime symmetries, not an added property. - Quantum.

This is a nauseatingly cowardly post. You could use your influence and voice to speak out and stand up to the grave injustices being committed against the people by this administration, yet you choose silence and normalization.
I’m not big on identities, but I am extremely proud to be American. This is true every day, but especially today—I firmly believe this is the greatest country ever on Earth. The American miracle stands alone in world history. I believe in techno-capitalism. We should encourage.
