They weren’t just rich creeps.
Trump, Epstein, Casablancas, and Brunel were part of an organized, predatory network of pedophiles—using modeling contests, private dinners, and fake opportunities to prey on teenage girls.
Here’s how they worked together in plain sight. 🧵⬇️

These 2 guys stole the massive Boeing 727 at an airport in 2003 and flew away, disappearing forever: no crash, no plane.
How is this even possible??

AI being able to produce papers that aren't easily distinguishable from human-authored ones is potentially an extremely positive development. Even before AI, in every field I'm familiar with, the amount of published stuff exceeds the community's collective bandwidth to absorb and build upon ideas by a factor of 100x or more. Inevitably, the vast majority of what's published makes zero impact. Yet we pretend that publication itself has some value. It doesn't.
Overproduction is the #1 problem in research. Dropping the cost of production to zero will force us to stop attaching value to publication, and look for ways to identify actual intellectual value.

Economist @joshgans uses o1-pro to generate a (minor, fun) paper in an hour based on an idea of his, and it gets published in an appropriate peer reviewed journal, with adequate disclosure. He ends with the same sentiment I am increasingly seeing from fellow academics: what now?

I'm grateful that @washingtonpost has named #AtTheEdgeOfEmpire one of the best nonfiction books of the year. They call my family memoir "a sweeping history of modern China from an unusual vantage point." The book: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/602734/a… Wash Post list: washingtonpost.com/books/2024/11/…

The future is now:
NJ’s largest newspaper, the Star-Ledger, will kill its print edition in 2025. Was once a top 12 US circulation paper. Sister paper Trenton Times too.
