I'm tired of takes about how AI will change science that come from people who either don't care about how science works, or are just extrapolating wildly based on vibes. Would love to hear how some of you are thinking about AI and science in the comments.
Autism has gone up by a factor of five since 2000 but acetominophen use during pregnancy has been going down. Sorry but the math just ain’t mathing.
In today’s post, I write about what the inaccessibility of scientific journals says about modern science. Basically it's a trade off. Read more about it here: kareemcarr.substack.com/p/the-langua...
In today's article, learn how a chance discussion with the chair of Harvard’s statistics department changed everything about how I think about learning statistics. Click here to read the full article: kareemcarr.substack.com/p/the-hardes...

Jeff Bezos’s wedding cost $50 million which is $20 million more than the U.S. government has spent on math research this year. We’re gutting science funding to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Amazing how AIs, whether built by right-wing billionaires or left-wing ones, keep discovering the same fundamental truth:
Rightwingers who argue free speech is only for citizens are telling on themselves. They don’t see free speech as a way to seek truth by testing our beliefs in the marketplace of ideas. They see it as a nuisance we tolerate because the Constitution says we have to.
problem: can't get the model to say what you want solution: just rewrite the data
Don’t learn AI because it can replace you. Learn AI because, whether it works or not, your boss is trying to replace you with it anyway. The more you understand the flaws, the better your chances of fighting back.
people more pro-AI than me? gullible nerds. people more anti-AI than me? fear-addled clowns. and me? perfect, as per usual
