It's always been a race to segment themselves as the first option to justify bailouts and their sunk cost.

OpenAI is rapidly losing money and is projected to lose $14 billion in 2026 alone. If they can't get another round of funding, OpenAI could run out of money as soon as 2027.

Kavli IPMU は、世界の研究環境の激変で研究継続が困難となった若手研究者を雇用するプログラムを始めました。横山機構長は「優秀な人材を招聘するだけでなく、若手研究者が希望を失わず、世界の研究世代に隔絶が起こらないよう、その端緒としたいです」と述べています。ipmu.jp/ja/job-opportu…

The road diverged in the woods. Do you (a) read about the work of one of the (no hype) great scientists and great public intellectuals of the 20th century (b) watch a youtube channel telling you that everything is bullshit? The choice is yours arxiv.org/abs/2502.10979

“A Renaissance Man who fell by chance into the modern world: few would wield so effectively such broad knowledge and fewer still would reach such pinnacles of achievement. With his departure the bright light of intellect penetrates a bit less into the surrounding darkness.”

Cosmology in 2025 will be really exciting so I put together a ‘Top 2025 Cosmology Papers I’m Looking Forward To’. Ordered from nearest to furthest, and guessing a bit on when they’ll come out. A fun 🧵

Marc Andreessen says the implication of Google's quantum computer is that it is performing computation across many parallel universes and therefore the multiverse is real

Nice paper with an abstract even more concise than @WKCosmo 😁 arxiv.org/abs/2412.08773 (Thanks @pedro_phys for flagging it!)

We promise we will never put the scientific community at large on blast with an arXiv Wrapped. The download : read ratio would be too psychologically damaging. 📚😬📚

forget Spotify wrapped, give me arxiv wrapped

This is simply not true. I have been in the field of observational consequences/searches for string theory/quantum gravity since 2004, and there is a long literature on this going back at least to the mid-1980s (including particle pheno people, not all string theorists/QG folk).

In 2007 I organized the first workshop on Experimental Search for Quantum gravity at Perimeter Institute. They were followed by several more in 2010, 2012, and 2014 and 2015. After that I ran out of steam (had failed repeatedly to secure funding for my research on the topic) but…
