Yep. And then some news org picks out some paper that goes against the entire scientific consensus on some subject and makes some headline about 'Scientists baffled!' when in reality they're just amplifying the reach of garbage science.

From this BBC article: "It is the second vessel the Houthis have sunk in a week, after the group on Sunday launched missiles and drones at another Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated cargo ship, Magic Seas, which they claimed "belong[ed] to a company that violated the entry ban to the ports of occupied Palestine".....The group has said it is acting in support of the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and have claimed - often falsely - that they are targeting ships only linked to Israel".
From The Times of Israel: "Both the Eternity C and Magic Seas were part of commercial fleets whose sister vessels have made calls to Israeli ports over the past year."

The word incel is a portmanteau of 'involuntary celibacy' so it means, by definition, 'not getting pussy'

If you can, self-host your LLM's in something like LM Studio (requires a pretty good GPU though)

also: PhD's are often funded positions where the student receives a stipend - not something where significant tuition is paid (not always, of course). Master's degrees can cost a bundle, but not every PhD program requires a Master's beforehand. The biggest loss (again, not every case) is in loss of income that would have been gained if one had immediately entered the workforce after BS or MS.

I’m getting a PhD because I like to learn and I want to learn all I can about the physical phenomena around me - I would hope we could start thinking of higher education as more than just job training.

I can't remember where I saw it, but it was a quote from an elderly man who was sad that the vast flocks of birds he saw over the midwest as a child are no longer around. Literally just directly poisoning the earth. Madness.
