I'm just waiting for him to chime in about music theory.

Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros ✨

This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee.

That sounds about right, yeah.

Getting a head start on that Nobel disease.

They're reeeaallly leaning into the fact that some of the math involved is also used in statistical physics. And, OK, we could have an academic debate about how the boundaries of fields are drawn and the extent to which the divisions between them are cultural conventions. But the more important thing is that the Nobel Prize is a bad institution.

I tried it with a bunch of stuff already and shared with friends.

I hope your friends find a better friend.

You guys aren’t gonna like to hear this, but being super wealthy and successful is always going to confer some degree of cool.

"Suck a dick, dumb shit," the administrator said.

I actually don’t get the general hate for AI here.

Try harder.

We have had readily available video communication for over a decade.

We've been using "video communication" to teach for half a century at least; Open University enrolled students in 1970. All the advantages of editing together the best performances from a top-notch professor, moving beyond the blackboard to animation, etc., etc., were obvious in the 1980s when Caltech did exactly that and made a whole TV series to teach physics students and, even more importantly, their teachers. Adding a new technology that spouts bullshit without regard to factual accuracy is necessarily, inevitably, a backward step.

AI can directly and individually address that frustration and find a solution.

No, it can't.

Quod grātīs asseritur, grātīs negātur.

I'd offer congratulations on obfuscating a bad claim with a poor analogy, but you didn't even do that very well.
