AI is a great way to invent novel research ideas with the rigor and quality of a vision that comes to you in a dream.
The social contract: I, Jewish and 37, go to my high-tech job in the Diaspora and pay PMC-level W2 taxes so that my government can fuck around trying to protect Anthropic and OpenAI from backlash while they sell AI to Iran to shoot at my fam in Israel.

Hot take: generative AI is vastly better than human beings at documenting what the heck it's doing when coding or compositing something because doing so is literally its only way to "keep in mind" what's actually going on, whereas we leave documentation for later because we have interiority.
Again you don't gotta like generative AI in general, but there's really nothing for an open-source project like being a contributor who's got a work subscription to Claude Code and can just fire it up and file a well-written, well-documented 1-line PR when a regression test fails on main.
So we've basically got AGI and Bernie Sanders is spearheading the Butlerian Jihad.
I fly tens of thousands of kilometers and attend a lecture to hear about... mfing AI again.

This whole AI cat is not going to be put back in the bag just because a few frontier labs get subpoenaed before a Senate hearing and possibly strangled with regulation.
Increasingly resenting Codex Sol because I tried having it parameterize a part of my generative model and it gave me a construction from a 2018 paper that I now have to read but which appeared to work extremely well.
