Lumping them together as “AI” gives readers the impression that a single class of tool is discerning novel protein structures, teasing subtle patterns out of mountains of LHC data, writing a student’s History 101 paper, and arguing a ketamine-addled billionaire could post up Shaq in his prime. No.

Their love of astronomical results will definitely translate to extra funding sent our way, right? Right??

Same! My science is happening but not in any form interesting enough to get me to write posts.

I think we as a field would actually be happier if we all collectively admitted that things are very bad right now, instead of pretending that everything is fine, and that all of us will somehow be the lucky ones.

Wow. Thanks for bringing attention to this change at Lowell. It would definitely have gone under the radar for many of us. Sending you tons of good luck for your next phase!

Last time I did a lecturey course, I spent 8-10 hours for 3 hours of lecture. So a little less, but I kept things easy for myself by sticking closely to the textbook. Two of those hours each week were just for reading the book chapter.
