"I find that going about my business in relative silence, with attentiveness to the things around me, and free from the relentless opinions of others, is good for the soul." #НикЌеjф @nickcave theredhandfiles.com/what-are-you-r…

Announcing Evidentron, coming soon to a scientific publication near you! @agahkarakuzu got academic papers to talk to each other, bringing his vision of woven literature to life via AI-driven MyST articles With Evidentron you can: 1/n

“Fear is a virus. Music is a virus and a vaccine and a cure.” @SarahPinsker

"a system that’s basically the worst of socialism and the worst of capitalism conjoined—plutocratic and sclerotic, overregulated and undertaxed, with an upper class enriching itself off rents rather than innovation and a service class that can’t advance..." Ross Douthat

"Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite." @LynAldenContact

"‘Okay. Here it is. Klara, the fact is, there’s growing and widespread concern about AFs right now. People saying how you’ve become too clever. They’re afraid because they can’t follow what’s going on inside any more..." Kazuo Ishiguro

"Louis Alvarez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1968, said in his autobiography: “In my considered opinion the peer review system, in which the proposals rather than the proposers are reviewed, is the gratest disaster to be visited upon the scientific community..."

"“Cavemen created the gods,” he said. “I see no reason why we shouldn’t do the same.”" John von Neumann via Benjamin Labatut

"...scientists today with radical turns of mind — the successors to Planck et al. — are unlikely to get funded because their ideas are unlikely to impress a committee before they have been confirmed." Donald W. Braben

"Two years ago she had gotten herself genotyped, and fifty percent of the reason for getting her genome read had been to prove to her disbelieving friends that she really is genetically disposed to sneeze in response to bright light." @ErikPHoel

"But perhaps instead the data fed a bloated, overloaded behemoth choking on its own information excess and suffering from a sort of digital obesity."  Lionel Shriver

"(Which does a man prefer? Bacon and eggs, or worship? Sometimes one, sometimes the other, depending how hungry he is.)" @MargaretAtwood

"complex systems collapse catastrophically. Look out the window.”

"The Turing Test has been inverted. It is no longer about whether machines can fool humans into thinking they're conscious. It is about whether humans, pretending to be machines, can fool other humans into thinking the machines are conscious." x.com/gothburz/statu…

"For many, the only available adaptation to this new landscape is to transform our human identity into a sort of imitation of the decidedly non-human forces that sustain the internet, [i.e] to immitate a bot" Justin Smith-Ruiu
