With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

See, entry 3 in the bibliography is "Analytic and Algebraic Topology of Locally Euclidean Metrizations of Infinitely Differentiable Riemannian Manifolds" by one N. Lobachevsky.
And if you've ever heard Leher's song "Lobachevsky", you may have just finished that title with "Bozhe moi!"

The decline in cancer mortality is about much more than smoking. We shouldn't minimize the very real impact of many contributors — including improvements in diagnosis, medical and surgical innovation, vaccination against cancers, and more — to the reduction in cancer death rates.

I respond to the claim that the decline in cancer mortality is mostly, or almost entirely, because of the decline in smoking.

This is very much on point. As Geoffrey Hinton put it:
"The problem is most people have a hopelessly wrong view of how people work."
Despite not knowing how their own brains work, they invent comforting stories how AI surely doesn't work in the same way.
AI is the mirror most don't want to see.

It was always inevitable that AI would be trained on all our work whether we liked it or not. There's too much money at stake in this. It's also always been inevitable that job displacement will happen. We have to make sure that AI works for all of us via universal basic income. AI was fed OUR data.
