Like many, I believed in this call, But now I see, I’m the fool after all. Won’t make the same mistake with my kids, Like my pops did, even if it’s hid. I’m an old fool, stuck in my ways, bound by beliefs the world forbids. I am an old fool, and I’ll stay this way.

Yep. I now have that from multiple reliable sources. "Retiring" starting, I think, COB tomorrow. For those who don't know Mike Lauer is (for the next day and a half) the NIH Deputy Director for Extramural Activities. This is the position that Sally Rockey had.

Finding something you are good at and can make a living out of is such a privilege, I wish it for everyone. Most of all, I worry whether my generation will be the one that breaks the chain… which does not live up to the legacy of those who came before and the promise of those still to come.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

The incoming leadership would be wise to seek counsel from Dr. Berg. His unparalleled experience is exactly what the NIH needs right now. Wish he were still at the NIH during this pivotal time.

simple point i tried to convey in the post I just shared. if someone does a nazi salute at a political rally, i don't need to do a critical biography or do some deep dive on why they did it. if you want a research project, sure, whatever. but that doesn't matter. They did it. Thats all that matters.

Characteristically excellent piece by @anilananth.bsky.social on how close LLMs/AI are to AGI. Here AGI is defined as "a machine capable of the whole range of cognitive tasks that human brains can handle." But AGI boosterists (not Anil!) never really mean that... www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Dr. Berg should end each of his posts with, "...and now you know the rest of the story." Must follow. I truly wish I had the opportunity to meet this man during his time at the NIH.
