I also perform better in evaluations when you disallow the people who outperform me from participating.

Every Olivia Nuzzi book passage I read makes me want to travel back in time to stop myself from becoming literate.

3. I appealed to the joy of doing science—and got the predictable question:

Would you rather live in a world where AI cured cancer or live in a world where you personally get to do science?

But that's not the dilemma we face at all. There's no cause to think that AI could do anything of the sort.

Curious why the bus drove 14 blocks off the route and then backtracked, rather than detouring around the closure? Why hold passengers on a bus for 15-20 minutes when they could have just walked the last 2-3 blocks to the destination?
