This is bad, but let's not pretend GenAI is some sort of groundbreaking science. It's a search aggregator.

Not much science left in the data and/or computer area. It's all criminals and social bullshit. So glad that was the path I chose for a career.

It's a Marcov Chain for guessing the next word extrapolating from a given data set.
AI is not "machine intelligence." It isn't intelligence at all -- it isn't consciousness or even insect-level awareness. It is the Chinese Room with a randomizer that throws in weird shit sometimes for seasoning.
The closest analogy to it in nature is crystal growth from a seed.
Oh - so they're like unemployment?

NEWSMAX: CBS and CNN and others are attributing airplane turbulence to higher temperatures and climate change. Has this come across your desk? LEE ZELDIN: Listen, this is crazy. And it just doesn't pass any smell test for even the average layman in this country.

"The average layman" aka the average yokel dumbfuck American who knows nothing about climate, airplanes, or flight.

Nothing to see here, literally. The Astronomical Almanac Online, from the United States Naval Observatory, now isn't. It is the source I use for the angular separation of stars. Welp, there's always RCH.
The only sources that are still up are dead links from 2018 and 2013.
This is like Don't Look Up.

No it’s not. It’s a compression algorithm.
Ok, this was published in 1985, so I assume some of you have seen this, but crossed my path for the first time today:
The first four sentences of "States of Matter," a textbook on statistical mechanics, by David Goldstein:
"Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics. Perhaps it will be wise to approach the subject cautiously."
I hated thermo, and I took the dumbed down mechanical engineering version. The actual physics treatment.....no thank you!

Maybe...but just more of a materials science problem to make enough of the stuff to even experiment with.
One of our boys (Tim Fisher '91, PhD '98) is a leader in this field, and he has publications on graphene going back at least until 2011. I worked with him briefly when he was at Purdue and partnered with AFRL on some related research.
