so many of the AI engineers & researchers I know working in industry have a wistful sadness in their eyes when they speak of academia.

They used to follow their curiosity, now they compromise with money and impact. A fall from Eden. They talk about going back "sometime" but the words ring false...

do you treat politics as fashion or as science?

i.e. is it a domain where you are expressing yourself and which social club you belong to? one in which you are trying to uncover the hidden principles of reality?

trying to speak across this binary is a great way to waste time

interesting that the american and russian state have the exact opposite origin stories

american state begins in rebellion against a king

russian state begins with the calling of a foreign prince to resolve internal anarchy and rule. A Viking, no less!
