Researcher. Poet. Professional "that" guy.

They say google knows more about you than any human ever can and perfectly tailors your ads to match. Anyway, I get all sorts of ads for tampons, beauty products, and perfumes. They almost got me to buy an AI boyfriend. Almost.

I don't know if it is possible to do an "on-topic" research stream. The very point of literature review is to bounce between a bunch of disparate concepts to create new ideas. When you are working on an experiment, well, it's a bit dry unless you talk about a bunch of related concepts as well.

I like typos. We live in a society that has a constant need to auto-correct or polish their texts, but I don't even use spell-checker half the time. It doesn't matter if it's an email or a private message. I want to hear your thoughts, not the thoughts some AI thought I would like

Stop. Just stop. There is no situation where I want an AI to write for me. This is on my youtube community tab, by the way. If you are getting a bunch of quick reactions from your favorite youtubers, they might be using this feature.

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/u... Yup, this is it. My absolute worst fear realized. Every technological development in history has been the result of research. It has been the backbone of the US economy for ~75 years. This is the type of thing that will truly break the US.

White House Budget Office Orders Pause in All Federal Loans and Grants

The full extent of the order was not immediately clear, but the directive sent to government agencies on Monday threatened to paralyze a vast swath of federal programs.

The US has been "on top for so long" because we have been taking the best and brightest people from around the world to do research. If we cut fundamental research, we are destroying the foundation of the US economy. Context: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Trump’s team looking at withholding massive research grants from ‘woke’ schools

Trump’s nominee to head the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, wants to target so-called ‘cancel culture’ at top universities

Every now and again, I get a comment from some random person on Reddit who found my old writingprompt responses and wants to read more. I then spend hours just tip-tapping away at my keyboard, writing a novel for some random stranger that will likely never see the final product.
