Anyone who read American poetry from the 80s already knew language does not equal sense
Grateful to The Verge for publishing my essay on why large-language models are not going to achieve general intelligence nor push the scientific frontier.

Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

I’m extremely biased but I’d have Ray’s 3 (and the Kawhi bounce) ahead of Kobe’s 81.
From @theathletic.com: A lot has happened in the NBA over the past 25 years. So our writers ranked the most significant moments of the 2000s.
Do you agree with our list? And how would you adjust the rankings? nyti.ms/47X54OY

This cover oozes with contempt for the magazine’s history and its readership
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Broken windows theory but for airport pants
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Video of a daycare raid in Chicago went viral last week, showing armed federal agents dragging a teacher from Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center as children watched in terror.
To the families at the daycare, the scene was a show of force that shattered their sense of safety.

I still can't get over that a million Russians have died attacking Ukraine. Per Wikipedia that's about 4x as many US soldiers and allies died in the entirety of the Vietnam War. In 3 years.
