Great paper by @ReinoehlUta and Mark Ellison (ahead of print, OpenAccess): 'Metaphor forces argument overtness'. Private comment from a reviewer: "I'm a bit annoyed that I didn't realize this myself". Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it. degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

Columbia hybrid to Zoom, NYU's business-school plaza cleared - the university is finally a safe space, and all we had to give up was any notion that a campus is a the place where knowledge and democracy intersect.

the insinuation, or even outright allegation, that modern ML does not work. The problem is not with the methods themselves, but with the meta-narratives surrounding them which encourage misuse.
Sounds fun but doesn’t touch structural economic inequality. So it would just be what we have on a larger scale. Same thing when people look for new tech solution to climate change - these are political problems!
My fav NASA paper is about self-replicating robot space economies that lead to 100,000x the industrial output of Earth within a century. A post-scarcity civilization is possible and even conservative given Starship & self-replicating synthetic biology to aid industrial processes
A lot of people what goes on in academia is dumb, but these are perfectly respectable areas of expertise, and they are subfields with genuinely rigorous literatures. These guys are over-playing their hand.
