I made the TIME magazine Most Influential People in AI list. I think the interview communicates a key point I feel strongly about. AI will have both good & bad effects: "Everything is going to happen all at once. We need to be modeling good examples." time.com/collection/time100-…

I believe every business is an experiment. For the experiment to succeed, you need to test your hypothesis, measure the results, and follow where they lead.

We’re back to mandatory N95s in the hospital and y’all out here literally singing about being able to cough on each other on planes. I’m so goddamn tired.

Some days being an academic just feels like endless cycles of guilt about everything I'm behind schedule on. Like, finished something? Great. Now there's five other things you still haven't gotten to.

Tracking a cold front that will drift down the state Thursday. Periods of rain and a few t-storms will be the story tonight and Thursday. Once the front passes, we are all set up nicely for a stretch of mild days and low humidity. Enjoy. I know you will. #Florida

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?

An average American salary of $45k is truly sad, but even worse is the median salary of approximately $35k which indicates that outlier salaries are skewing the distribution to make the average salary not a good representation of the majority.

The Death of Silicon Valley remains overexaggerated, with no sign of fast drops. In Q4, Silicon Valley takes 32% of all VC 💰in the US (majority is seed), followed by, as always, NYC & Boston Austin is still under 2%, and Miami grows to 2.4% (though half is from two large deals)

New rule, you can't just reply “correlation isn’t causation.” Propose a reason: 1. Chance 2. Causation 3. Reverse causation 4. Confounding factors or omitted variables 5. Both factors lead to group selection (more men are🧑‍🚒, more 🧑‍🚒get hurt in 🔥, but 🔥 doesn’t burn men more)
