A new name for the working class, 'lower-value human capital'. They don't give a shit about you and your family.

Can't raise minimum wage because it will kill jobs. Can't raise taxes on the bourgeoisie class because it will kill jobs. Can't ditch oil because it will kill jobs. But when these companies replace 50% of their workforce with AI, it's "sorry, that's just the way it goes."

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Something unexpected, and slightly worrying, is happening. Ten days ago, I posted a preprint introducing the concept of LLMorphism: the biased belief that human cognition works like a large language model. The preprint received an unusual amount of attention. Hundreds of comments on social media and forums. Reels on Instagram and TikTok. YouTube videos. Infographics for students. And now it has even made it to Forbes. It seems that I got some sort of zeitgeist. Many people were already thinking about this. Many people had already experienced it. But they were missing a name and a theoretical framework. So, here it goes: LLMorphism is what happens when people start to see themselves as language models. The psychological mechanism is analogical trasfer combined with metaphorical availability: LLMs become an available metaphor for cognition, and people project that metaphor back onto themselves. The machine becomes the model of the human. And this worries me because the risk is not only that we overestimate machines. It is also that we underestimate ourselves: our embodied experience, our goals, our emotions, our responsibility, and our capacity for understanding. * Full paper in the first reply.

🚨SKANDAL | Videoda gördüğünüz kişi Trump’ın oğlu Barron Trump. Şimdi onun 1 günde nasıl milyarder olduğunu anlatacağım: — Trump'ın oğlu 50 milyon dolarlık petrol sektörü hissesi satın aldı. — İki gün sonra babası İran'la savaş başlattı. — Petrol fiyatları bir anda yükseldi. 🔴 Bombalar düşmeden önce satın aldı. 🔴 İran Hürmüz Boğazı'nı kapatmadan önce satın aldı. 🔴 Küresel petrol arzının %20'si tıkanmadan önce satın aldı. 🔴 Ham petrol fiyatları 2008'den beri görülmeyen seviyelere ulaşmadan önce satın aldı. ⚠️ Ve küçük bir yatırımcı bir anda milyardere dönüştü! Baba oğul hepimizin iflahını kuruttular! Hepsine lanet olsun!

Siguiendo la misma lógica que justifica dar incentivos a los inspectores de Hacienda por las infracciones tributarias que denuncian... ¿no deberían restarse a esos incentivos los intereses que generen sus actuaciones erróneas? 🤔

Los titulados universitarios de familias con bajos ingresos, ganan mucho menos que los graduados de más nivel de renta cinco años después. Estas diferencias persisten incluso al controlar por universidad, carrera o notas. 💼La clave está en la primera transición laboral: los graduados con menos recursos tienden a aceptar puestos con menor proyección en su primer empleo. Este primer paso explica dos tercios de la brecha salarial a los cinco años. nber.org/papers/w34366

🫀 ¿Cuándo empieza realmente la aterosclerosis? Un estudio en el European Heart Journal analizó arterias coronarias de adultos jóvenes (media 34 años) fallecidos por trauma. Sin síntomas ni diagnóstico previo → el 56% ya tenía lesiones en sus coronarias. Y lo más relevante: antes de que aparezca la inflamación típica, lo primero que falla es el metabolismo energético de las células de la pared arterial. La inflamación llega después. No es el inicio, es la consecuencia. 👩Además, en mujeres este proceso ocurre unos 5 años más tarde que en hombres. Queda mucho por investigar, pero estos datos refuerzan que la ventana de prevención es mucho más temprana de lo que manejamos en consulta. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…

In some very real sense, Ozempic was invented in 1990. Pfizer ran the human trials and just never published them. They showed it lowered blood glucose in diabetics, slowed gastric emptying, and killed hunger; the same 3 things that make Ozempic work today. The joint venture agreement said internal data stayed internal, and that was that. Pfizer killed the program in 1991. The reasoning, as far as I can tell, was that nobody would ever want an injectable diabetes drug besides insulin. So, the license went back to the hospital in Boston that held the patents. Novo picked it up in 1992 and spent the next two decades building liraglutide, then semaglutide. It's insane that data sat in a filing cabinet for 30+ years. I only know this because Jeffrey Flier, one of the Harvard scientists in the room, finally wrote it up. He's in his late 70s and didn't want the history to die with him. This makes you wonder what else is in those filing cabinets. Ozempic could've existed 27 years ago.

Vor genau einem Jahr habe ich einen Raspberry Zero2 W in Paraffinöl versenkt. Das Öl sorgt dafür, dass der Prozessor auch unter Höchstlast kaum wärmer wird als Zimmertemperatur. Seitdem berechnet er mit einem BOINC-Client für die Mathematisch-Physikalische Fakultät in Prag 24/7 Asteroidendaten. So ermitteln wir die Umlaufbahnen aller Asteroiden und wissen, wo die ihre Bahnen ziehen und auch, ob wir uns Sorgen machen müssen, dass uns einer in Zukunft trifft. Ein genau baugleicher Zero2 W mit genau der gleichen Software führt genau die gleiche Aufgabe ungekühlt aus. Und jetzt stellt sich die Frage: Macht perfekte Kühlung einen Leistungsunterschied aus? Und die Antwort ist: Ja! Und zwar signifikant! – 5,97 % So das wäre auch geklärt. 😀

An investigation by The New York Times, based on interviews with officials in Washington, Copenhagen and Greenland, has discovered: The United States is trying to modify a longstanding military arrangement to ensure American troops can stay in Greenland indefinitely, even if Greenland becomes independent. The notion is basically a forever clause, and Greenlanders do not like it. The United States has pushed the talks beyond military matters and wants effective veto power over any major investment deals in Greenland to box out competitors like Russia and China. Greenlanders and Danes strongly object to this. (Gift article) nytimes.com/2026/05/18/wor…
