Something got broken in my coding setup (several things were deprecated) and I had to ask ChatGPT for help. I complained to it that I feel old, and got this as the answer: "That’s not 'old' — that’s veteran-level :-)" This will be my new motto I think.

I channeled my inner Marvin Minsky to give a different perspective on AI science. It ended up being about how our lazy attitude toward our language stops science from its (utopian-level) full potential … and stuff. petterhol.me/2025/02/09/e...
Essay time: AI and science’s happy ending
I’ve been a bit disappointed with the debate about the future use of AI in science. Either it has been short-sighted: “Wow, let’s try this thing we’ve always been doing, but…

How to choose a research question? Choosing which problems to work on is perhaps the hardest and most crucial part of science. It is also an invisible and underrated part.

My LaTeX compiler duly and understandably complained about the \textbff{} command I entered, and now I am wondering whether I've accidentally invented some new term for computational social scientists working on smartphone ego-nets
The worst thing about writing grant applications is that they make you think about all the great stuff you could be working on if you wouldn’t need to write grant applications
