This piece of the puzzle isn't talked about nearly enough. I am willing to bet it's not the kids who do their own homework who will be left behind in the future. The stans are screaming this because they need it to be true or they are proper fucked.

I also find it fucking hilarious that the AI stans are like "your kids will be left behind if they don't use it" as if it's harder to type a prompt into a text box to ask someone else to do your work than it is to read and understand a book or learn mathematics on your own. Foh.

If you don’t know, Daniel Pemberton is responsible for the amazing scores for Steve Jobs and Project Hail Mary. I’ve already been hearing buzz about this film for months, now.

Trailer just dropped (featuring my score and a bit of the ace song I have done with the amazing DAVID BYRNE!) for Alex Gibney's fantastic epic documentary on a certain Elon Musk. LET ME SELL YOU A DREAM...

I’ve seen way, WAY too many people talk about “recent government disclosures” as if this shit is real. It is very concerning how poor Americans’ critical thinking skills are right now.

So I’ve been freebasing academia with terminal ADHD for about 16 years now, and have decided that since I will fail at pretty much everything I attempt, I wish to do so in the most spectacular way possible. I will now field your failure proposals. Remember there are no bad ideas in a brainstorm. 🧪

Heading for the Carina Nebula 🚀 The massive stars in the interior of this cosmic bubble emit intense radiation that causes the surrounding gas to glow. By contrast, other regions of the nebula contain dark pillars of dust cloaking newborn stars. https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1828/ 🔭 🧪

Writing Resources

Writing is a huge part of any career in science, and for many writers – no, for most writers – it’s a daunting challenge. But it’s not a challenge that you have to tackle alone. That’s a lesson I w…
