I'm sad to report that Rainer (Rai) Weiss passed away yesterday at age 92. Rai developed the design for LIGO, he and Kip got it funded, trained countless researchers, and received the 2017 Nobel Prize. Rai always had time for students and treated us as equals.

I talked to a poet today who told me he now writes 10,000 lines of poetry a day thanks to AI. That’s probably the limit case. He’s an experienced bard, he knows the muses well, and he is using AI 12 hours a day. But he’s not naive. This is not 10,000 lines of doggerel.

I am the biggest Texas homer (y’all know that) but one of the biggest flaws about Texas is her lack of public land. 99% of her beauty is privately held. Take it from me – Public land is a gift and you don’t realize how important it is until you don’t have it. Cherish it.

I genuinely don't understand why some people are still bullish about LLMs. I use GPT, Grok, Gemini, Mistral etc every day in the hope they'll save me time searching for information and summarizing it. They continue to fabricate links, references, and quotes, like they did from…

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world. Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Trudeau: "I heard he talked about banking again this morning in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country, so American banks are alive and well and prospering in Canada. It's an…

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights. Or providing security for money. It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies. Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history…

To me, a Nazi salute means "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

I may well have missed it, but I've yet to see DOGE offer a single example of actual fraud, as opposed to examples of the government funding programs people disagree with.

Just going to continue emphasizing that this, detaining a bunch of people who haven’t been convicted of a crime and incarcerating them en masse in a fortified location against their will because they are part of a specific ethnicity or other group, is a concentration camp
