AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail. Dark times for survey work.

The academe has for a long time had a severely neglected social class problem.
"Children from low-SES homes were already severely underrepresented [in the academe]."
"Scientists from high-SES families have 38% higher odds of becoming stars."

Gino's case against us has been dismissed.
Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work.
Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.

Debt commission bill that would create bipartisan panel to propose ways to lower deficit is hated by the right that sees it as Trojan horse to raise taxes & by the left that sees it as Trojan horse to cut entitlements. And hence we have a 1.5 trillion deficit during good economy.

You don't demonstrate your seriousness that Trump is an existential threat to democracy by going through the motions to renominate an 81-year-old with a 38% approval rating who 75% of voters think is too old without giving anyone a choice because that's just how things are done.

biden mixed up sisi and amlo
macron and mitterrand
trump mixed up orban and erdogan
haley and pelosi
they’re both doing it more and more often

It's hard to overstate how important a switch away from beef and lamb would be in terms of environmental impact.

It seems like Qualtrics could play an important role in limiting researcher fraud. As a researcher, I would love to be able to post a data file that is somehow certified by Qualtrics as the original file (maybe it is posted by Qualtrics).

Do people ever really change? A massive new meta-analysis says no—at least when it comes to the differences between us. Despite some fluctuations in adolescence and early adulthood, personality differences among adults are remarkably stable over time.

In @jacobinmag, Noam Chomsky on why he opposes de-platforming, his thoughts on the NYT's apology for its Cotton op-ed, and how few people care when the left is censored:

This is Marcel. He was once a member of the Royal Guard. Didn’t last long because he couldn’t stop smiling. 14/10

If you ever doubt how clever evolution can be, remember that it will take a year for the brightest minds on the planet to find a vaccine for the coronavirus.
Yet 99% of healthy people have an immune system that can crack the problem in under a week.

The paper represents a huge effort among many collaborators.
But it also caps off an important chapter in my own life:
